Just a few afterthoughts I think some of the newcomers would like to know. 1. Stability - I was concerned about boat stability and how tall my seat posts were (18in.), that and I do a lot of pitching with my baitcaster so naturally I stand up quite a bit. Several posts I had read lead me to...

Here's a quick run down of what this project cost me. If you have any questions or need specifics on materials let me know. Boat - Free (been sitting on a relatives farm) Lumber - Free (Leftovers from a buddy making palets) Hardware - $50 (Stainless steel nuts & bolts for transom and...
