Because it's mine... ;-)

When I was still at Perception in 1987, Corran designed this boat. Paul Broussard (Rest in Peace, Paul), early rotomolding engineer extraordinaire, led his expertise toward building a cheap temporary mold (those were the days when it was very expensive to make a mold, which slowed down boat production of prototypes, if not design).  I was basically Corran's and Paul's errand boy -- we worked all night after the last shift left.  I got one of the 3 boats in return for my help.  That's us hucking Drift and Turtleback on the HP -- not exactly the right habitat for that hull but fun for sure.

I saw Corran in Montreal in 07, and he clarified that this is the "Road Kill Seal" -- a predecessor to the Osprey. I was sort of out of the picture for the Osprey so don't remember knowing how many he made, or what it looked like.

Possum -- I know you've been burning up to get on the Cascades -- how 'bout today, at high water, in 15 degree weather, in my one-of-a-kind Road Kill Seal?  I'll take pictures from the road in my 800w puff jacket.
