Osprey and Osprey II - a Kickboat on Steroids
This is a kickboat on steroids. We will put these pontoons up against anything made in the world. REALLY !
We use the Steelheader 9 ft X 15” and 10 ft X 19-20” pontoons and then put an Aluminum Frame on and you have an incredible fishing machine that is going to last you 25 years. The 9 ft can be packed small enough to go into a 30” x 54” zip up duffel bag, and weights in the low 40 lb range. 10ft is 45-50 lb range. Take as baggage on a plane. So if you want the most heavy-duty kickboat around. You will want an OSPREY. Frame W 56” x L 82” maximum length with foot pegs fully extended. Dog deck 41” x 21”. The Osprey uses Steelheader pontoons but with an aluminum kickboat frame. The Osprey is the most Heavy-Duty Kickboat in the World!
