I was thinking of getting one too and very intersted in this thread. I hate starting my motor to reposition around a shoreline while fishing. I looked into the ones mentioned above and was suprised by the prices. I thought they be @ $500, crazy I guess.
Might sound funny, but I may pick up a flats pole and see if I can push the boat along. I fish in water mostly 5-15ft. I dont know how hard it would be to push the boat, I have a 20ft Hydrasport, T-top, etc, its HEAVY.
