On the tv news minutes ago there was a vid, but I don't see it here on their web site;

Saw it on the news today, I was hoping they'd catch something on the news.

That's really cool. WE should build a bunch of these boats for all the local lakes.

I see the video is now working, that's great. I guess when I posted the thread it was too soon after the story was on tv. :)

Anyone with facebook can read their site and report what they say? And where they are. And if they are going to build more boats and how much they'd cost.

Maybe an old outboard floor rotten boat can be used and a flat platform built for wheelchair useage. I think a tri-hull, dual-hull, or poontoon type boat would be more stable.

I think it's a great idea, and there should be one for most lakes, and a few for the big lakes.
