[Electric Boats] project - hands-free electric fishing boat for shallow water



My invention took first prize in the 2008 Int'l Concept Boat Design Competition. You can see it in action at www.streamdancer.com

Four majot kayak manufacturers expressed interest but none could take on a new project in this economy.

Start up costs for manufacturing prohibit me from producing it myself.

I have now simplified the boat design so that anyone with modest tools can build the boat from materials at Home Depot for less than less than $120.

The controls, motors, augers, and battery . . . start adding up fast.

Question?

Is there a market of tinkerers that would buy plans and foot controls for about $400 . . . when the final product would take just two weekends and cost a total of about $1000?
