People laugh at me because I'm different, I laugh at them because they're all the same.

I am not sure I would like to kiss all the guys our girl brought home.

I used to take the daughters boyfriends out to the shed and introduce them to the 6" Vice, then tell them,"What ever you stick in my girl, I will stick in this Vice". Turned a few lads pale, and even a few away ;) :lol:

As for an inflatable, looked at them a Scott Lovigs and the look pretty gutsy and have to say after seeing photo's of both smish's and frappa's here on the forum pretty impressive fitted out. I have not however, have been out and seen how they have performed but I do remember reading about one being towed back due to High winds and High resistance to go forward. While in skinny inclosed waters, that may not be such a big problem for an inexperienced wife and youngn's, out on the bay, even in light wind, it may just be.
Best way to find out, is to contact either Scott or Neil at the Hobie dealerships and let wife and kids take one for a drive. Also entice Frappa and or smish for a fish, watch how they handle theirs for the morning.

Cheers
Eddie
When we say it's BIG RED SEASON, we don't mean a big red blood stain on the bay,
GET YOUR LIGHTS ON + YOUR PFD'S.

Happy Sailing Fishing and keep blowing bubbles.
Cheers

There was trial day down the yarra with a few inflatables

Not sure if they were peddle or paddle :evilgrin:

"A kayaker took life jackets to the pair and the SES attended with a boat and rescued the pair.

They were checked by ambulance officers but did not require medical attention.

Police say the fate of the dolls is unknown."

They sell them in Melbourne at canoes plus in Kew.
