Anyone recognize this flying boat thingie?

Looks pretty fun! Anyone know what it is called, who makes it, and how much they cost?

Thanks,

Mark

Google "Trike+Floats" for a good start.

Oops, try "Flying"Boat", you may get more/better hits.

This is the first hit from Dogpile.

Many more on that list, and I suspect google would have more hits!

Or try this for fun flying in one:

They run about $22,000 new, last time I looked. My neighbor has two of them and they look like a blast to ride.

All I know is that I wouldn't get in it.

Looks like someone in AK with more toys than brains...in fact, that's probably a neighbor I haven't met yet. No thanks.

It looks like the perfect flying machine in which (in flight)
for the PILOT to lean back, pop open a can of Budweiser, and in his very best alabama accent say: "Hey y'all watch this!"

Nah, Not from up here. If it was there'd be miles of duct tape holding it all together!

The first time I saw one of those was in Marathon Florida Keys. I was standing on the balcony of my father in laws house when all of a sudden a rubber duckey flew by. A quick double take brought the air foil into focus and I was enthralled. I thought that some wise guy had duct taped a ultralight to a duckey! A quick search on the internet revealed all. The thing that really stood out was the apparent angle of attack the hull had in comparison to the wing. Yes, I am a pilot. (SEL)
