Thanks for joining!

Your joking right?

If not, I just want to state that we here at TinBoats.net do not condone this. :LOL2:

I still want to see what your thinking!

I guess it has potential, seen some pics of Russian tin boats with a bow framed tarp over the front end. I guess it all depends on what type fishing you do on the mild days of winter.

I assume this cabin will be in front. Could you post a pic of your boat and a close up of the gunwales? I have an idea that could work if the gunwales were the right shape.

 

[BaitCaster]

Sounds interersting. I think it can be done. Interested to see what you come up with - kind of like a duck blind?

I see them all the time around here when it gets colder. Some look factory made but have seen many made out of old truck campers. There is a servey company behind my home that uses them exclusively, When they return I will see what brand they are. They would make nice winter or july boats for that matter. I would say they a 22'x8' river jons with front and rear decks, twin 150 merc's, have roof mount a/c's. They might be a mod v, Not sure they always back them in. I seen a custom built top for a 1872 on CL awhile back that looked like it was factory. Had front and rear doors, sliding side windows and what not.

Nope no clue, Would be nice to have on though. Those boats I was talking about are seaarks, 20 footers I would guess. Modv flat bottoms.

Jim is just funning with you - it is a crazy idea, especially since the water where Jim "does not fish" is frozen 8 months out of the year :mrgreen:

 

[Jim]

Just throwing my "disclaimer" out there and just poking a little fun at you. I would love to see a project build on what you are intending. Just be safe, do not want to read about you one day, that's all. I never meant any disrespect whatsoever,I apologize if you felt that.

AND one time we had a clown on here who wanted to tow his Jon boat with a bicycle. So I was not sure if he was back again to cause me grief. He was determined that it was possible....up and down hills, through the streets. #-o :LOL2:

 

[Gunner]

i think you're going somewhere with this bicycle jim. i'm gonna look into that :wink:

 

[perchin]

Man I'm itching to see what ya come up with..... I've always thought about a way to keep off the dew and stay dry on our over night salmon trips.

You are fast becoming my new hero

Get a plaid bike to match the plaid boat
