The following is my personal review of "The Hydrobike Sport", a special model of HydroBikes made for hunting and fishing.
"The Hydrobike Sport"
Did you ever wish there were an easier, lighter way to drag a boat to that "secret" little lake that you can only get to by foot? WaterStates Trading Company is offering just what you are looking for in a model called "The Hydrobike Sport".

 | "The
Hydrobike Sport" is a platform bolted onto two pontoons made from molded polyethylene. The platform is made of powder coated aluminum and provides a very sturdy place to stand or sit and cast for your favorite fish. Although it comes with oars that easily push "The Sport" wherever you want it to go, you may opt to install a trolling motor and use that for propulsion. The trolling motor pushes "The Sport" with incredible ease, and much to everyone’s delight, quite a bit of speed. It comes with a very comfortable swivel seat that is quite nice to fish from.
When you hook your first bass, about a three pounder, you may be concerned about getting it onto the boat. Coming from the side will require you to hoist it above the pontoon, but if you bring it in from the front where it easily slide onto the deck of the "Sport".
When you return to the landing, you can easily grab the "Sport" by the two handles and drag it up to the trailer. You can chose to leave your "Sport" intact, by utilizing a flat bed trailer for hauling rather than tearing it down and putting it in your truck. It really does only take about five minutes to tear it down and it will fit inside a 2000 Chevy Tahoe, however it does require a little work to put it back together. It's not hard, just bulky.
Overall, I found "The Hydrobike Sport" to be a perfect boat for this particular application. The price tag is very reasonable, and it will stand the test of time, and as a fisherman you will get your money out of it. If you have a small pond you like to fish or a body of water that you can really only get to by foot, you may want to consider a HydroBike "Sport".
