Yes on the watermaster idea, but its been done already as indicated on the second reply here; http://forums.flyfisherman.com/forum/sti...float-tube
Seems like it would be more comfortable and stable than any kayak when converted to a watermaster, with your legs hanging down as ballast, though you would have to add back weight of fins and waders. At least you could have the option of lifting your out and rowing as well.

[quote SHigSpeed]Oops, I didn't realize you had linked to the SUL Alpacka. Still over 3 lbs and at 13" wide inside it's quite snug. Probably handles more like a kayak than a raft.
And $490, ouch! I'm aiming at something that could sell for half of that.
That said, it would be fun to build a packraft...
