That thing would be really cool to have.

Cool. Like a modern day Seabee aircraft.

I like it but I just cant figure out where you would mount the downriggers

Does it have self deploying hand lines coming off the wings? LOL. I would hate to stuff it with tuna and ice and not be able to take off!

Single Engine. No Kicker. Not safe enough...

That is a sleak looking machine. Last year we flew out there in a 210 and landed. It was on one of those " calmest days ever" days. The landing was not so easy. I can honestly say that I am not so interested in landing out there again. Having said that, I bet the prop wash on that thing looks like a huge school of bait on the glassy days. While on the troll if you suddenly have a slow turn to the left you have hooked up on the left wing. Same for the right and if you slow right down...tripple header. lol Being limited by weather is one thing but being limited by surface conditions is another. All in all lookes like there would be few fishing days and when you were fishing it would be catch and releas only. That plane is to nice to put a greasy old tuna anywhere near it. I still have the odd "smell" here and there from my tuna excursions from this year that have not been resolved. That was one of the lessons this year. Wash all your tuna stuff asap or they will have a greasy fish smell. Its just not like salmon.
