    Building a catfish boat

    The start of the SeaDek. I used some IPSC targets I had stacked in the garage to make templates and then cut the pieces out with an Exacto knife and then sanded the edges. I’ll do the benches later.

    Thank you! I took it out today. Unfortunately I didn’t drain the gas out of the carb and it wouldn’t start. I got it home, pulled it apart and cleaned the jets, and now it fires right up.
