    Default boat build update

    finally got some decent weather to get the last few coats of paint on the boat AND i found the perfect wheels from an old stroller, almost ready for the water now . im gonna build a couple of flyrod holders , some anchor locks and im hoping for a lake test in the next week or so
    i tried this first , didnt like it

    so im gonna go with this , more stable

    and even a nose wheel ( gonna try it)
    if i get to old to fish ...hell i will never get to old to fish!!

    i think , not including my time , somewhere in the range of 100$ the paint alone was 50$ for the gallon , the plywood i had 1 sheet already and a 15$ bag of screws , the wheels i got from the dump finished i think it will weigh in at about 130lbs or so after the seat, rod holders, anchor locks etc...
    if i get to old to fish ...hell i will never get to old to fish!!
