Stream Dancer - the only hands-free electric powered personal watercraft on the planet & Commended in the International Concept Boat Design in January 2006.



Though small and simple, this personal electric fishing boat is a new design with many features not found on any other boat or kayak on the current market.

• Hands-free control . Imagine using rod & reel, field glasses, camcorder, or even aiming a shotgun . . . while fully controlling the craft. All forward & reverse motion, turning and speed is intuitively controlled entirely by your feet. Push forward on both feet and both electric motors thrust the boat forward. Push further and the electric boat goes faster. Relax both feet and the boat stops. Pull back on your heels and you’re backing up. Push on one and pull on the other . . . you will be spinning like a top. That does, however, make the fish dizzy. It’s easier than riding a bicycle.
• Permitted where gas power is not. Now you can get into those small lakes, wildlife refuges, shallow ankle-deep streams, and lily-choked backwaters with ease and quiet pollute-less speed.
• Light weight. Light enough for one person to position on a car top carrier . . . under 70 lbs without the battery.
• Whitewater capable. Run those class I and class II rapids. When you drop into the flat water, leave your kayak buddies paddling in your wake as you roar down river at 5 knots in your electric boat.
• Unsinkable. Rotomolded, this electric boat is similar to sit-on-top kayaks with self bailing cavities, but much dryer.
• Compact. Small dimensions for launching from tight and remote locations. Shallow 6" draft makes just about any stream accessible. For the purist, this electric boat even responds well to a kayak paddle.
• Stable. Stand up in the watercraft. It won't tip over like most kayaks!
• Casting. Just lean forward, flip the seat back over, and up pops a casting seat! Now you can sit up high, cast without dragging the line in the water . . . and still control this electric boat with your feet.
• Comfortable. Ergonomically designed for hours of enjoyment. The semi-reclined seat takes weight off your legs and supports your spine.
• Quiet operation . Bird watchers and fisherman, this is what you've been searching for. Two electric motors provide near silent propulsion. Screw-drives do not cavitate like props. Wildlife are actually curious and attracted to you!
• Safe . This is a much safer boating format than hydroplanes, jon boats or jet skis for enthusiastic young mariners. The stability of this electric powered personal watercraft and the low seating arrangement makes falling overboard a difficult task. The spring loaded foot switches return to the “off” position when the feet are out of the heel cups. The screw drives are under the hull. Maximum speed is about 5 knots.
• Easy launch. No inflation, trailer, or time consuming assembly required. Just unload your Stream Dancer from the car top rack, drop in the battery, . . . and roll to the water! Yes, it even has a built-in wheel!
• Cargo! A huge compartment is just behind the seat. Take you camping gear, cooler, or convert it to a live-well. Yes, live-well! Electric-only fishing tournaments are popping up all over the place. You have to bring that trophy winner back to the judges station!
• Affordable . For about the same cost of a kayak, two trolling motors and a battery, you can own the most versatile hands-free electric powered personal watercraft on the planet.
• Fun. You don't have to have an excuse like fishing, bird watching, paint ball or alligator round-up. Just take this electric boat out dancing on the water!

Stream Dancer. . . a boat for everyone!
