I have a flipper question

[misfish]

Maybe stupid BUT,are there flippers on the market that will push you forward instead of backwards on a float tube or toon?

I was being serious Dave.

Sit front to back. Or it could work if your knees bent the other way.

[Terry]

every time I swim with flippers on, they push me forward , it would be hard to swim in reverse

 

lol

[misfish]

Told ya a stupid question.LOL

 

I have tried to tuck my knees right under my seat and flip. It works well for holding on a spot,but travel sucks,but it,s a work out.LOL

 

Looks like another thing I will have to work on. Im sure I can fabricate something that will work.

Flippers no trolling motor yes

Yes.

 

Trolling motor is on the back burner for now RB. Still fabricating for that ,but it,s coming along just fine so far. Need to try the platform out first.

you'll have to make flippers come off your heel's that could be akward

A paddle wheel would be the cats .Could you imagine.Time to engineer one Brian .

Cabela's used to sell some called Kickapoo Kickers. It does not look like they are made anymore... perhaps there is a reason for that.

 

I did see these.

Interesting. Looks like you open and close your legs to propel those.

 

Thanks JB.

I just always turn around and kick to where I need to go. I can't see moving forward in a tube being done efficiently.
