I've never seen it before. Interesting concept. I imagine the pontoons fold up out of the way.
Have you tried contacting the Youtube user directly to ask him/her? :dontknow:
I am about to set up an identical rig on my Avenger. The outriggers in the video look like a bit like Scotty Stabilizers but longer-Scotty Paddle Sports
I looked at those but ended up buying a hard foam set of outriggers - Yak-Gear Outriggers - austinkayak.com - Product Details - large size.
The float set up in the video has metal mesh extensions, that is a neat idea vs. single pole brackets but I am guessing that was a home built fabrication. It is possible the big floats came from a fishig float boat (i.e. Cabelas)
They will provide stability and extra flotation plus have the advantage of being hard foam so no leaks (made from crab pot floats). They fold up out of the way and added bonus is that with extra sets of Scotty brackets, they can transfer to my kayak and canoe for fishing or taking clumsy dogs out for a paddle.
Contact Keen Engineering. They make Gold dredging float equipment. Small to large pontoons, would be easily adaptable to Argo's.
For one thing...if he falls overboard he better be a good swimmer as the argo is going to leave him behind, with the kill switch attached to the roll bar!
