Hydrobikes by Fun WaterCraft

Dean,

Here are the pictures I told you about on the phone. The seats are Hobson easy seats and the double seat support system is solid steel covered with chrome tubing.I tested it using six hundred pounds on the rear seat support and it didn’t even flex. This was a static test, and not on the bike frame. The support tubing holding the bike and pontoons is brushed 6061 aluminum 65 inches long. The twinbrella is quick clamped to the frame, which is covered with self-adhesive velcro so the frame won’t get scratched and console is also trimmed with velcro. I made a push-off pole that you can use to move the bike without getting off of the seat in case you want to move off the beach or check the depth of the water. The steering is more positive with the rudder closer to the inboard pontoons and does not restrict the range of steering. I hope you don’t think that I messed it up too much but it does make a good “Hydro-Bike Cruiser.”

Fun Watercraft salutes Jack McKinney for his innovations with our product. Including safety margins, Jack’s “Hydro-Cruiser” has over 800 pounds of floatation. With his side chair configuration, he should be able to have up to three passengers-one behind and one on each side. We encourage engineering and innovations such as this. Our floats are utilized in canoe outrigger and sailing kits, as well as other floatation kit projects.

Fun Watercraft reminds everyone to be safe, wear personal floatation devices, and use common sense on the water. (Of course, customary and usual warranty and liability issues arise from modifications to the original product. We must disclaim responsibility for these situations.)
