Ultraskiff is doing Good. Yes it has been alot more work then I tough. Especially since I Bootstrapped it all starting with literally nothing. The first Viral Video certainly helped boost my first edition of the website, unfortunatly at that time I was not ready to manufacture and could only sell 20 prototypes. The following year in July of 2015 I finally had full manufacturing capabilities and had a Second video go Viral on Facebook. Reddit was not involved in the second video going Viral, it was a Facebook Video that went of 6,000,000 views in a couple months. That one sold me some boats!

That a great question and I could just run off all the usual benefits, pros and cons to you, stability, storage, seating, comfort, posture, strapping, transporting. That are all advantages. But the thing I try to convey that is missing in this industry is the value of the "experience". WHat does it FEEL like when you are fishing from a certain watercraft. Everything is so VISUAL nowadays, that boat LOOKS better, that one LOOKS cooler. A kayak has the experience of a kayak, it doesnt matter what brand it is your stuck in that position all day. Grant it, the pedel kayaks have a degree of separation from the paddle kayaks. The pedal is an obvious advantage and better experience then the paddle kayaks. But wow do you PAY for it. The Ultraskiff has the best Experience of any kayak or small jon boat. Its one part of the 360 degree vantage point, one part the constant foot gradient and posture, one part higher vantage point and another part open deck with stuff in storage. So you cant judge it from looking at it, you have to sit in it and cast from it to understand. That why I make so many videos: I'm trying to convey that experience because the boats are not available for people to test themselves. Now, what are the Cons to a kayak? there are 2: Kayaks tend to be a bit lighter (50% to 20% lighter) (paddle or peddle) and kayaks are faster because the hull is more streamlined and cuts through water better. You have to weigh that against the many advantages of the Ultraskiff. That how this all started, I had a big Pro and Cons list before this started and the Ultraskiff blew the kayaks away each time, Im not saying its the right choice for everyone in the debate, some may place more value in speed and weight over storage, seating, comfort, stability storage and versatility Ect.

We have sold just over 600 of them so far. Hoping to hit the 1000 mark this year.

Yes it is possible, but you have to go out of your way and grab onto the motor as leverage. Like a lever, the motor shaft connected to the transom has enough power if you were pulling on it from the water to flip the boat. So if you climb back in, dont touch the motor!
