[quote peter805]On picture #3 you can see that either the man is too big
for the craft or the craft is too small for the man.
I do like the seat idea but it needs to by on a bigger toon.

[cool][#0000ff]Persactly. I was really watching the wind & weather yesterday, ready to get him off the water if it got rough. Almost had a "test" of the stability when some joker water skier decided to do a "fly by". The boat was headed right for me until I pulled up my camera to take his picture. Then he veered away. If you look closely in the attached pic you can see them all looking at me. We have a law in Utah that you cannot come within 150 feet of another boat or watercraft if that craft is not moving. As soon as I brought up the camera one of them yelled...TURN.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]While that was a novel idea, for someone much smaller than Wes, it could have proven problematic if the water had not been glass all morning. Again, it was a borrowed craft. Wes has his own, but it is strictly oar powered. No pedestal seat. He just wanted to keep up with Bryce.[/#0000ff]
