[QUOTE="Fernhopper, post: 478427, member: 26409"] Hello everyone! New member here (also new to online forums, really) so please bear with me while I try to figure out posting and photos. Some backstory- In 1970 my grandpa purchased a “mini sled” that was part of a custom run of four boats based on a wood design. My dad, uncle, cousins and I all grew up fishing in that boat. While he loved it, it’s small size and inefficient design didn’t allow him to take more than one person at a time. In 09 he traded it for a bigger sled and the person he traded with passed away. His kids inherited the boat and we lost track of it for years. Last year I tracked it down, convinced the son to sell it and I am just about done restoring it! (Though we are never really done, right? Haha) anyways I’ll try and get some photos up. I’m a west coast guy, seems a lot of folks on here are from other parts of the country. This site continually popped up while I researched info helping with the restore and I figured you guys would appreciate this one off mini build! Here is few shots of pops and I on a rare sunny day in the NW :LOL2: [/QUOTE]
