Fishing Cruiser

I may try my hand at building a hollow wooden board this summer. I like this design even if it does look like Flash Gordon meets a vintage lake speedboat. I’d make the outriggers removable and have plenty of hardpoints for gear. The brass compass looks kinda cool too IMNSHO. This is 14′6″ x 32″ x 4″
looks cool, bob. can you guesstimate the weight of such a thing? can’t be light!
meanwhile, i don’t know about you, but i find a fishfinder almost a necessity these days. i have one on my fishing kayak and never leave home without it. you ought to build one right into your wooden board ala the compass. (might as well throw in a small-screen tv while you’re at it. and a cooler). also: would you install rod holders? i really like those RAM tube mounts — ez on, ez off.
It’s bound to be heavy. I may need to get a mule for transport.
Small screen!…..40″ plasma and a fridge!
Seriously though, fish finder maybe, cooler and rod holders for sure.
Very cool. You need to go see “Golden Compass” for inspiration. Armored Bears! I want an armored bear.
Very cool.
I do want to see Golden Compass was intrigued by the trailer. I’ve been drawing mechanically augmented creatures since my teens though. Probably as a result of some psychotropic experiments while listening to Emerson, Lake and Palmer’s Aquatarkus in the 70’s.
