Question:
My home made pontoon boat has given up the ghost, a lorry backed over it
this morning, as I was attempting to prepare it for a Baltic trip.
I would like to get one fairly quickly, and donīt have the time to build
one.
I can probably get the following for reasonable prices ( The truck owner
paid me for the damage ). Although the choice is extremely limited of
course.
DH400 Caddis
Navigator 2
Scout.
Fly boat.
The problem is, I have no descriptions of these boats, and have not found
them on the net. Anybody with any input, web-sites, critique etc please
give me a few leads.
One other thing which somebody might know. I am looking for a pedal driven
propeller. Pedal and chain drive as on a bicycle, but fitted with gears to
drive a propeller shaft.
Any ideas?
Answer:
-Try www.prophish.com
I think that they make something similar to what you describe. As to it's
price and suitability for your purpose, I couldn't say.
I don't know what search engine(s) you use, but try www.dogpile.com next
time you're looking for something. Dogpile is a metasearch engine that
searches something like 15 search engines for you. Use a lot of quotation
marks. I searched for "fly fishing" "pontoon boat" and got a fair # of
results back. You can always add the boat name to this search string for
narrower results. Don't use quotes unless you are positive that the boat
name is exactly as you type it, otherwise you won't get the results you
want.
- I generally like dogpile too, but here's another that searches 37
search engines at the same time. When I'm having trouble finding something,
I resort to this. The only problem is taking the time to go through all the
stuff it finds.
-For the DH400 and Navigator II descriptions, see

No experience with them but am interested in reports myself.
