All motor heads looking for for a
357 inch block turning a four blade prop stop reading right now.
This drag boat can be dragged across a parking lot and down a
beach for launching.
 |
Easy launching. |
I started this boat on October 31st so I call it pumpkin like
in Halloween.
This was a scrappy build. I had so much scrap wood that it needed
to be used for a boat.
 |
Open for fishing. |
This is my ten foot canoe/kayak. I did not put a deck on it
because I wanted the open area for fishing. I use a double paddle
and it goes fine.
 |
Easy made paddles. |
It is 134" tip to tip At the water line 120" and at
the widest 31". The boat weighs in about 40lbs. It hangs
over my tailgate by 36".
 |
Overhangs a bit. |
I can be in nearby rose bay in 12 minutes.
 |
Colour scheme. |
I have a pull handle on the back end and a extra wooden block
on the front bottom so I can drag it with everything in it.
 |
Pleasant place to paddle. |
The sides and bottom are luan plywood. I made a solid mid brace
and transom out of 1/2 inch plywood. I added some additional bracing
out of scraps. A piece of PVC is my rod holder. I use a folding
boat seat on top of a 1/2 inch plywood base.
 |
More locals. |
The cameo paint job is meant to be the bull emblem from the
university of south florida. My apologies to them.
 |
Onlooker. |
I used some duckworks plans for my double paddle and this boat
moves right along plus the price was right.
