One day I came across the drawings of a boat I had sketched, many years before, when I worked as a draftsman, at Dempster Brothers, in Knoxville, Tennessee. In the mid 1960's, I was working as senior designer at the Kennedy Space Center. How could a fisherman get the remote access that a canoe provided and still get superior stability? very wet! Being a Tennessee man, I can tell ya the water can be pretty cold! It only took one flip, in Beaver Creek, on a cold winter day, to realize there had to be a better way. Most of the time, that meant going out in a canoe, which as we all know, can be very tricky and at times. I always loved to go fishing, especially in small rivers and shallow hard-to-get places.
