    Bought this used a couple/few years ago to float for flounder in North Myrtle Beach!! It is free for the taking if any of you would like to have it. I don't want to ship it, but I am willing to drive an hour in any direction to meet for deluvery if required. I will be in Pgh next weekend and can bring it along.

    I can include a trolling motor, but it does have a crappy repair on the throttle handle (previous owner)

    Looks like a cool setup. When you were describing it I couldn’t get a visual but the manuel helped!

    That's a very generous offer. My buddies and I use these for day floats hunting smalljaws. We have loaded them down and done overnight floats as well. Mine is the 10' model (because I'm fat) and my buddies have the 9'.

    Oh yea, pics...[​IMG][​IMG]

    Very nice pjcalla... yours look like they may be more high dollar than the one I am offering, but it is similar. Thanks for the picture, by the way I am fat too, lol

    Needs no work that I know of...If someone wants it and doesn't trust me, I will put it together and take some pictures. Most definitely not looking to sucker anyone. Personally, I think only an idiot would venture into lake Erie on this floater! It does have a wheel, works like a wheelbarrow

    Nope, that's my buddy. Haha.

    As far as Lake Erie...nope! Unless it's a calm day and you stay near shore. These are made for lazy floats down slow, flat rivers. I suppose you could take it on a smaller lake/pond too. I believe they are "rated" for class 2 whitewater.

    There are repair kits available for ~$20 that include extra oar locks, valves, miscellaneous bolts, etc. I believe you can buy extra bladders (pontoons) for ~$50.

    I would have zero reservations about picking this up, especially for free.
