I like the propeller shaft out the back! An amphibipod? I see you have the water testing facility right next to it. Nice! fred ------------- 2014 RPod 178 => https://goo.gl/CV446f - MyMods and Buying Habits 2008 4Runner Limited 4.0-liter V6 Yes, those are wild ponies dining on grass while dumping tanks! |

I'm thinking a couple of outriggers Leo? Yak, that does look like a fun project. I pulled up next to this little guy last summer in Northern California. My pod in background. Very cool little camper!  ------------- 2014 RPod 178 => https://goo.gl/CV446f - MyMods and Buying Habits 2008 4Runner Limited 4.0-liter V6 Yes, those are wild ponies dining on grass while dumping tanks! |
