Thanks for the info on the Ultra Light. Unique and very stable design better than the Alpaca, looking forward to the production model.

[quote flygoddess]I spent a good part of this morning talking to Dave. MAN these now boats are rocking the water world.
The XX was scheduled to come out next year, but during some water tests, pictures where taken and the word was out, so after being flooded with questions, NFO decided to go ahead and release it.
The XX makes boating a whole new experience. Easy for one person, but a tube/pontoon/raft that can easily be transformed to a two person and light enough to carry with ease.
Now, on the Ultra Light. This is still on the drawing board table so to speak. It will not be for everyone. The same idea as the Alpacka, but built in the same design as the Assault. Light weight, but thin skinned needs to be noted. If you look up the Alpacka site, you see more threads on patching them. Something to be aware of, not saying this happens to everyone.
The Ultra is not intended for hard core frequent fishing trips. Just a specialty tool for a special job.
Dave would prefer you call him first if you want to drop in and see the boats in person. It is a small shop and he would like to show you up close and personal what interest you. Or wait for one of the expos when he has several models set up.[/quote]
