The 
thing is that I actually made and used one of those when I was a kid in Arkansas. It was more like a wooden box that we attached to 10 foot styrofoam pontoons that we "found" near someone's dock. You gotta love 12 year old ingenuity. We used to fish 2-3 people out of it. We would paddle that thing all around the lake with 2X6 boards. The second summer we managed to save enough money for a $20 trolling motor at a pawn shop and thought it was then cool enough to try to pick up girls. We were ly mistaken, but we didn't care. It picked up plenty of fish. Before that boat we used to swim along the bank and chuck spinners while treading water with our feet (can you say white trash), so it was definitely a step up. Ahhhh, memories. What's wrong with kids today?
