I was adding some pictures to the Ozarks Walkabout Pinterest page today when I re-discovered this picture of a transparent kayak I’d pinned to my personal Pinterest.

What a great, if impractical idea! I couldn’t see the hull staying clear and scratch free for long on the rough and rocky lakes and creeks of the Ozarks, but it would be fun while it lasted.

I wonder if this would help me with my fishing? The kayak costs $1,600, so it’d be more economical to invest in a fish finder, especially as the Ozarks lakes are quite murky.

Fortunately I can no longer be tempted by it as it is not available anymore.

Some on-line research unearthed the following details:
