[QUOTE="bamabill, post: 387089, member: 15102"] Tim, I bought three 25' sticks to start with. I made one or two bad cuts and had to go back and get another one although I only needed about 5'. So I essentially used about 80 feet. I don't know what type fishing you'll be doing, but I think a setup like mine would be more for bass fishing. Since I want to learn crappie fishing I now wish I'd done mine different. I would have made the front deck lower and shorter, only extending back to the second rib from the middle seat. The. I could mount my front seat on the floor and used a shorter pedestal or none at the rear so that person could put their feet on the floor. As it is right now I may have to add a short extension to the rear bench for added footroom. Good luck with whatever you decide. Use a lot of rivets if you don't weld. I read where riveted frames have some flexibility whereas welded is more rigid and prone to cracking. [/QUOTE]
