Is there anyway you can downsize the pictures to make them easier to view? Pretty good home made boats...

All have been in the water. I have used these type boats in lakes such as south houlsten mainly in the coves and in in rivers like the the clinch and the powell, the do well in slow moving rives . I have not put them in any really rough breaking water. Here are a few pics of them on the water. Keep in mind they are floating me and i am about 340 lbs.   |

Dadgum... Boat looks like it floats pretty high to be such a big boy. That shirt will probably sink it though.... that think can't bring much luck.  |

I found that wearing that shirt tends to make the fish in Tennessee tremble in fear thus creating a shimmer in the water , giving up their location.

She seen me back in the summer on my little brown kick boat and said that we wanted one in pink. My brother n law suprised her by giving it to her for Christmas. Se loved it. You are correct you could probably see her from space when she is kicking around on that thing.
