Hmmm... that actually has promise. Instead of the waders you could be in your dry suit, with BCD and tank clipped off. You motor out to the dive site, suit up, and off you go.

So Doug, when I win the lottery or my horse comes in I call you for a great deal on my next dive boat????????? \:D/ \:D/
When you win the lottery, let me know ACB's are the most stable boats I've ever been seen. Course, then you put two or three HUUUUGE motors on the back and these boats will do wheelies too.

the ACB HAs been my dream boat for about 3 yrs now, They are the bad to the bone boat.

Diving. . . is an active physical form of meditation. It is so silent- You're like a thought.

SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES. NOT REALLY GOOD FOR
ANYTHING, BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE
STAIRS.

Naw... You don't need the pontoons. You've already got your suit and bcd for floatation. You just need to put the trolling motor battery in a sealed box and you can ride the trolling motor like a stick-horse. :laughing3:

I just had a flashback of that scene in Napoleon Dynamite where the uncle buys a "time machine" off the Internet and takes a few Jules in the jewels. :laughing3:
