I drag a trawl behind my S4. Works perfectly.
Works great for catching speckled trout too
Shrimping and crabbing in the gulf of Mexico
Very stable with two guys in it

Took it out today testing how I’m going to carry it in the bed of the truck and took it out with the trolling motor to check the stability of it. It was a breeze to lock and load in the truck and very stable with two guys in it.
Family Fishing Day
By Chris Henderson
Well we got the fleet out for family fishing day.
Yesterday was Family Fishing Day where my church (Wellspring Fellowship) invites families out to fish at Lake Devereaux.. It corresponds with Fish Washington Free weekend. What a great day it was!! Weather was not exactly cooperative (started off good but got much wetter!) but almost all of the kiddos caught fish (struck out on two:( but we will get em next year ) There is something so awesome about taking kids fishing. It helps you see it like it was when you started!! Kids are so full of questions and funny comments, I found myself laughing through the whole day. If you get a chance get kids out fishing.
Ps. Special thanks to all the kiddos (and their parents) who gave me the delight of fishing with their kids.
Enjoy
Testing my S4 hunting boat with a dog platform
By Austin Rykbost

Did a kayaking trip with the most recent version of my front deck bolted on. Works great. The all welded aluminum set up is super light, probably only 15lbs. With the bottom of the deck being shimmed to have multiple points of constant on the S4, it is rock solid and you can walk around and stand on it with no issues, as well as grab the railing to pull the S4 around very easily.
My next step will be to finish building my trailer for the S4. Then putting hydro turf on the front deck, some accessions to include lighting, and then I will work on getting a motor. I’m quite a ways from being done but the current setup is awesome for doing some paddling with gear on the front, and using it for camping. I had roughly 40lbs in that bag as well as a cooler with 6 drinks in it behind the bag, and also my wife as well. I paddled us by myself very easily even with the extra weight. The pontoon design helps a lot. I have found that the weight distribution can be a little tricky to get it tracking properly but once you figure out the best way to distribute the weight is is easily maneuvered by one person!
Testing my S4 in the gulf

I mounted 6 hp Mercury on my S4, and I took it for a drive around Grande Isle, in the gulf. There was a 12 mph wind blowing, and the water was choppy and sometimes rough, but the S4 handled it perfectly. This boat always has enough free board, and it’s very responsive. I found that thanks to the S4’s extreme stability and generous free board, I can drive it faster in rough water than other microskiffs I’ve driven.
Launching it and taking out is so easy!
The S4 is very comfortable to drive. After several hours in it I had no back problem, knee problems, or any other problem, and this is something I can’t say about my [one person] skiff, which is painful to drive and fish from.
