Thought I would build a bank fishing cart. It needed to be able to travel well and roll on rough terrain. Carry a cooler and my tackle box. Spider rigging off the bank will be the bomb with this rig.:biggrin Flat to ready to roll in less than a minute. Breakdown takes the same amount of time. Still lack a little tweaking and a hand full of hardware. Hope it works out. Sure will be cheaper than boat fishing:biggrin

Can you troll with it. Where are you going to mount the FF at? What size motor does it take to get it on plane? Just funnin. Looks like a good setup to me. You might think about a small battery to power a LED light that you could toss in for a little night fishing.
Very creative. What kinda welder do you have. I have a wire welder. Thought about buying a aluminum spool gun for it
Just need a fold down seat off the back of it and a receiver for an umbrella somewhere up in the top center. You could hang a coon tail off of the umbrella to read the wind by. Just a thought.
Good deal , see the fishermen on the gulf coast use them alot.
Not all wire welders will accept the spool gun for Aluminum.
Neat!
Even appears to be 4WD for the muddy banks!
A added feature is that the winch is self regulating.Quote:

Lol yea but all the other boat work you created I thought you were a welder lol
The long sad story of this is, in 1984 I got laid off and went to work as the only maintenance guy in a new metal working factory here in Trumann. During the 5 years I was there, I got to repair a whole bunch of welders, both aluminum and steel, stick and wire, aluminum spool gun, and those welders that pushed a larger aluminum wire from the welder itself. I did get some experience mig welding aluminum and steel welding and while I wasn't as good as the professional there, I was adequate for what I needed to do. I ended up designing and building from scratch a "robot" welding machine that increased the production of one of the components by 3 times. They gave me a letter and a travel alarm clock for doing this, so I took the letter and used it as a reference to get another job:Rofl. The plant manager loved me like his own son and gave me pretty well free run of the factory so I got to work on all sorts of projects. I did have a few projects that failed, one of these was an auto oiler for one of the punch presses, but that is another long sad story that could have been a major disastor. It goes under the life category "don't do this again".:RoflQuote:

Gonna call you macgyver lol. Good history on ya
You'd have more luck Bank hunting than fishing , hard to rob a bank with a whippy fishing rod.:Rofl
