Hydro-Dynamic Stabilizer Floats

Streamlined Pontoons for Canoes, Kayaks, Jon Boats... if drag would be a drag.

Longer & more streamlined than our classic etha-foam float.   Now, 2 options for stability.

Light & inexpensive ethafoam or larger more streamlined hydrodynamics.    Ordering links at bottom of page (scroll all the way down)

Any of our products that accept stabilizer floats, can be ordered with Hydro-Dynamic (HD) floats or the classic Etha-Foam (EF) floats.  (canoe stabilizer outriggers, kayak stabilizers, canoe sail kits, inflatable boat sail kits, kayak sail kits)

Our floats have a single vertical mounting tube design, allowing the float to turn in response to  impact, thereby preventing damage.   But the friction fittings on the ends of the float arms grip the tubes tight enough to prevent turning in normal operation.

TOP VIEW OF CANOE STABILIZER         BENEFITS OF EACH FLOAT STYLE     

Advantages to the HD floats:

  • Less drag = more speed
  • Attachment tube at center is removeable for compact storage and off-boat transporting & is longer, so more height adjustment range.
  • Stronger:  Stands up to punishment of motoring or hard sailing. 

Ethafoam floats have been disconitnued

Either style float may be purchased as part of our canoe stabilizer, kayak stabilizer, canoe sail rig, kayak sail rig, or inflatable boat sail rig.   (Click on any of the red words to go to the appropriate page for that item.) 

Or, you can order just the floats & arms for your own do-it-yourself boating project,  or to upgrade a SailboatsToGo or Spring Creek sail kit or stabilizer you already own.   Ethafoam floats and arms (no crossbar, no gunwale clamps): Add to Cart   Hydrodynamic floats and arms (no crossbar, no gunwale clamps):  Add to Cart

The new HD pontoon style comes to a sharp point at front and back.  Center tube can be removed by simply pulling the attachment pin.  It then stores flat in the center groove, held in by the attachment pin.  Dimensions: 37 inches long by 7 inches at its fattest point.  It's hollow.   Material is a high-impact plastic.  Weight: 4 lbs. per float.   Adjustable up and down;  in and out.  5-year Warranty!

 

HD floats are made of rugged cross-linked polyethylene and are 37" long, about 6 inches high and 7" wide at the max.  838 cubic inches each.  Each pontoon weighs 4 lbs.

Hydro-Dynamic floats on our kayak stabilizer.    Despite what you see in this photo, don't stand in your kayak, even with a stabilizer!  

 

Despite their greater size, the HD pontoons still fit in our optional carrybag, which has both shopping-bag type handles and a shoulder strap.   In fact, a complete canoe stabilizer system with HD floats fits, as shown in photos above.   (The trick to fitting the floats in is don't align them with each other -- nudge one toward one end of the bag and the other toward the other end, so that the fattest part of each float is some what offset in relation the fattest part of the other float).
