Some months ago I was able to find a similar type product as per http://www.stornboat.com/this site available here in Australia. Unfortunately I am unable to locate same. It looks like a great concept. It looks like a POD and the base remains on the vehicle whilst the boat is very portable and easy to handle plus the boat forms the top of pod. Also great for light storage whilst travelling. Yes a small boat but all this old fella needs. Mr Google and I have spent hours searching for the Aussie product. Does anyone have any thought as to where I can find this product. thanks Jay&Dee

Nice looking unit and a good idea, JayDee. Only thing I can see that MIGHT cause a little problem is the unit weighs 69kg, looking at that link, so that is added to the roof and overall weight of your tow vehicle. It also only holds 204kg when out on the water, probably ok for most people though I spose. By the time you add all the safety gear etc it could be getting close to the bone. It's just me thinking out loud and not an insult JD.
I hope you can find one in OZ. Have you thought of emailing the US of A at all?
Keep safe on the roads and out there. OH! and in the boat if you get one.

Just PLEASE don't use those toy things up North of Queensland or the Territory.
They make you into instant lollies for resident croc's.
Both getting into/out of and while paddling round in
just like a big tasty livebait or two.

Macka,I certainly would have no intentions of going into known CROC territory in one of these.
Want something for the dams are rivers for fishing and Red Claw,
Dougie, Yes I have sent an email to the company in USA.
I recall that the Aussie product I saw I think was called some thing Blue or Blue siomething. But Mr Google can not find same for me.

it's basically to get it on the posts so people that haven't been up North get it in back of their minds.
Nothing less than a 3.75tinny for safety.
That's what I carried. comfortably on my Patrol.
and the smallest to use with any safety.
