Funny when Canepole and Mvinc posted their versions no negative comments. Course that was back in Feb. Their versions are little more complex then mine but same basic principle. They also had more room on their front deck. German Company has website producing another version. May be they are just wasting their money and time too. But they are advertising them for 99 Euro.

Slimey slab- yes I couldn't get anywhere close to what the 987c was worth so I kept it. Used setup today on my local lake and am well pleased with results.

After weighing all comments I think I will stay with my idea.
