Hahahahahahaha! Where do you think I picked this crap up from? Farming sweet potatoes & soy beans till I was in my 20s and then driving trucks for 7 years or so. My daddy didn't teach me to make anything right. He (and I it turns out) is satisfied as long as it works.

stormcloud, I don't think I have to worry about losing any intellectual property on this one. If anyone is desperate enough to want one of these, he is welcome to it.

Sweet potato farm????? Were you in the Calhoun County cartel? Serious people around that business.

You ain't missed by much. Thorn MS (Chickasaw County) is where I came from, but we sold them in Vardaman (Calhoun County).

Took trailer/carriage out for its first trip to the water today. Several modifications are required. #1 is that I have to widened it. I don't know how many times that thing tipped over. Very frustrating. I did get the trailers cut wide enough to let me pass pretty easily. #2 is to sure up the supports a bit. It had a little more bounce in it that I was expecting. All in all though, it worked well.

This was also the first time I had the boat in the water since I got it from Bird down, and it was awesome. I had two small, plastic paddles I bought just for it, and I was scooting around that water like motorboat! There was one small leak, but I'll weld that up with no problem. BD, thank you again my friend.

Little bracing and wider axles and that should get the job done. it aint gotta be pretty!

Hard to tell from the pics, but it sure does look like that transom is low to the ground. Looks like it would be easy to bang it on a root or rock. Might consider taller tires or blocking it up a bit in the back. Couple of inches would make a big difference.
