How would this do in the ocean - Gulf specifially-with very little waves?

you sit down on the mesh seat, so your floating really well. With little waves this would be great, bigger waves would toss you around, but won't sink you. Have fun....

We have only used ours in a pool. If there were few waves I suppose it would be ok however in rough waters I wouldn't advise it.

If it were a quick submersion I think it would repel the water and survive nicely, but not sure what would happen if it took a long soak. It's pretty sturdy and I am very pleased with it. I think you will love it!

I don't think it matters how broad the vessel is but it shouldn't be too shallow as it works best with an up and down motion.

I guess it depends on the lake floor. I had drag on a loose sandy ocean floor.

Bearing in mind this is 10 years old now but at the time I was very impressed. I was on board a 7000 GRT (grossed registered tons)seismic vessel in about a metre to 2 metre seas. It was around 4 or 5AM in the morning. I was taking photographs of an oil rig with ISO setting at 1600. The photos were not exactly pin sharp but would be good enough for corporate newsletter or even A3 poster I reckoned.

It should be ideal for that situation. I use mine in a boat and it works like a champ. I drilled a hole in the catch bowl, place it in the sink, and just let it run with no need to empty the bowl which drains into the sink. It's quiet, too.

Yes. We have used them in the Gulf and they worked fine. We did rinse them (inside & out) in clean water before storing. The adults loved them as much as the children. Have fun!

well, 14meters aprox, without obstacles. :) .... it's amazing accesorie... but don't send signal under water.

Yes,I believe that small a motor would be no problem. Just keep in mind that there is no rudder board, or anything that could control speed/direction beyond a trolling action.

If I had to guess based on owning one and the feel of the materials, I'd guess not exactly. I'd expose it to as little water as possible.

It does pretty well at sand.. The unit is very light.. We have an oreck but tend to use this instead

Yes, without the bits the wave may be a little loose, but it should be fine

Depends how big. Dont expect anything bigger than a flow of 8 inches. Submerged under 3 inches of water.

We had wind chills of 30 below and the water never froze, although I had a very thin layer on top of the water, as someone else mentioned. Actual air temps got as low as 3 below with no problems.

I used it for snorling in the Bahamas, I think it would be good because it doesn't float. It does fill up with water though and it's kind of hard to get it out .

I've never used it on a calm sea but I have used it in some minor rapids and it held up very well. I will say the oars that are included are pretty flimsy so you might want to invest in some aluminum ones or just higher quality ones in general. Its an excellent little fishing boat.

It's small, maybe a foot or so long. I run it in my pool with the pump running so there is some chop in the water and it does fine. In a lake I think it would do fine as long as the waves/chop isn't over 4 inches or so.
