wooo that is nice! I haven't made a decision yet on that lilipad... I'm still looking for my perfect fishing vessel. As a female and usually fishing by myself i do want something I can handle alone. (although there is never a problem getting you fellas to help a sexah lady out with a larger boat

I'd think a lilipad hovercraft makes a lot more senes than a similar boat, especially for fishing. You can go into the weeds and marshy areas where only a poled punt would dare to go. Just set down wherever you want to dip your line.

You could do portages over flat ground - no waiting at the launch ramp! You don't have to go around a peninsula - just go across it! (James Bond, eat your heart out) You'd be able to go up swift, shallow streams, and set down on the bank to fish.

I makes a lot more sense than some of the "bass boats" I've seen.

I agree with Tom... but at the same time it might be tricky to control and loud... depends how easily your fish get spooked I guess...

Both are definately interesting ideas!!

if u want to fish in the weeds and marshy areas and catch weeds and marshy things then a lilipad mite be a good way of catching that stuff. although im sure the lilipad would be more fun than a regular boat.
