Yes, I am crazy. Started another project. I'm almost as project crazy as Rojo, but I don't think I'll ever catch up to that mans project energy level, not sure anyone can. My FIL comes close. Anyway, take a look see...

Man can never have too many projects
Good project idea. I hope it surpasses your vision for it in every way.
Right on the Money Sir Jack!, keeps you thinking you're young anyway. That Canopy Cover I replaced last week still has the joints pinching a bit. I think everyone should have a Crappie Jon Boat I know I catch a scary amount of fish out of mine. I'm going to watch the video on the big screen this morning.Quote:

Gonna be watching this build...
I think that you should (rethink) the idea.
If your determined to launch at that spot, why not just launch it and then drag it back out when finished and just flip it over?
Anyway launching is only one part of the whole equaission.
You still need to be able to get in and out of the thing.
And for that a Kayack or a canoe would be a better choice.
Consider launching from your seawall, maybe install a roller on top of it.
Getting in and out of it might be easier.
Yobuck got me to thinking. And when that happens we're all in trouble, right! lol
Anywho, I thought maybe I did need a better way to get in and out the old Jon Boat. So lookie what I built off my sea wall:

It's a Kayak/Jon Boat Launch thingy. Something close to the water, to get in and out with. And I have additional plans fer it too....you just wait and see...
:popcorn
I like the looks of this and where it might be headed. Having a kayak on wheels is heavy and tough enough to pull out sometimes. I imagine a boat up that bank would be harder. :highfive
Shhh.
Dont be waking anybody up about this. lol
What a cool project, anxiously waiting for final reveal.
Slab I sure wish you lived closer. I have a old aluminum davit laying behind my shop. We would have to ship on a pallet, you could have one made there for the freight.
