[QUOTE="jpfieber, post: 399579, member: 546"] One advantage of a small boat is the ease of moving it around, especially when you don't have help. I removed everything from the hull of the boat (bow, bench seats, transom) and found it is very light. Winter is coming to Wisconsin (below freezing last night), and I want to park my car in the garage, so the boat can't stay there. Instead, I realized I could move the boat to the basement, and have all winter to work on it. Since one of my goals is to have everything removable, getting it back out won't be a problem (new transom should be the only permanently added piece). I gave it a try, and it was actually easy to slide the boat down my stairs into the basement. I'll be able to build on it all winter now, and have it ready for spring!
