Hi, FG.
Thanks to the lightweight materials being now being re tasked for tubes and toons, it should be possible to make a fully loaded AND electric powered pontoon under 20#. The latest efficient lithium batteries, motors and carbon fiber structure plus Dave's pontoon material with a computer generated hull design should give about 3 hours at 4 mph according to my calculations/estimations.
Some amazing new things coming in the short future.

[quote flygoddess]The new ones do. The 6'er doesn't, it is like the H3. A light weigh float tube.
But the new 8 footer and the Assault Light do have seat, oars, bags. Imagine, an 8 foot pontoon under 20lbs loaded[crazy] This is so cool.
As far as motor, you can probably still get the strap on motor mounts like I use. I do want the new glue on motor mount for my Assault and the Assault XX, but I will stay with the strap on for the Renegade.
The Revolution is brand new, and not on the video.[/quote]
