The
TOTE 'N BOAT starts off as a simple folded
sheet of plastic. The Boat and attachments weigh less than 32 pounds. It's so
compact it will fit in the trunk of your vehicle. There are no special tools
required. 8 "hand-tightened" bolts and 8 straps, and you are in the water!
When assembled, the
TOTE 'N BOAT has a Weight Capacity of 450
pounds. It's almost 10' feet long and 36" inches wide at center. It's just as
rigid and solid as a standard plastic canoe. The craft is so durable that it
will not crack, dent, split, or puncture, even against the sharpest rocks.
The unique design and
engineering of the fold pattern means there are NO OPEN SEAMS below the top of
the canoe or in contact with water. Fold lines, or "living hinges", are rated at
90,000 psi. Countless hours of research, design, and development went into the
TOTE 'N BOAT Folding Canoe to ensure that it would meet the requirements needed
for portability. Meanwhile, the highest level of performance and style is
critical to its construction. /font>
Marine Grade side-sponsons
for added safety and floatation in case of a tip are integrated. 1-Inch thick
tear-proof foam is mounted along each side to allow even a fully swamped canoe a
return to shore. Sponsons easily "snap" into place and are held securely when
the side rails are strapped on. All TOTE 'N BOAT Folding Canoes come with a set
of side floatation safety sponsons.

SPECIFICATIONS
Structural engineering, CAD design, computer-controlled CNC machining, and
countless hours of development/testing have allowed us to create the most SOLID
and STABLE portable canoe available anywhere.

MATERIAL
CONSTRUCTION
The key ingredient in the success of this product is MATERIAL. Made from a
revolutionary polymer developed by the U.S. AeroSpace industry for it's impact
resistance. This canoe boasts the unique ability to "BEND & FOLD" over 1000s of
cycles without failure.
