The non-human version is the fishBOATTM. It is efficient, inexpensive, quiet, capable of extreme depth and can be implemented in craft ranging from toys to massive industrial tugboats. Click here to learn more about it.


   A human powered version taught me how to make the fishBOAT. I call the human version the fishBOOTTM.

The fishBOAT is an idea of Martin Garthwaite. Martin is developing the fishBOAT with Billy Roeseler through Fishboat, Incorporated.
