to limit the manner in which I now drag my WB8 over oyster shoals, concrete ramps, and up on beaches with total impunity. Once down in Houston I saw a WB at the dock with a most ingenious set up of standard bicycle sprocket and pedals mounted off the dagger board housing with a small drive shaft exiting the stern driving a prop. It looked beautifully done but I didn't have my camera with me and by the time I returned with it, the boat was gone. I asked around thinking it would make a wonderful article for GOB, but no one seemed to know anything about it. The concept has stuck with me however and I often noodle around with it. The major problem is that I couldn't see how he had extrapolated the chain drive over to the shaft. There were some life jackets obscuring that part. It would take some fabrication alright.

I have heard great things about the Mirage and would love to try one out.
