I like how you used magnets for mounting the rod storage.
I noticed your magnets have a threaded male stud.
Did you find them online?
Again, great build. =D>

Thanks I got the magnets, cups and highfriction stick-ons for the magnets from https://www.leevalley.com/en/wood/page.aspx?p=58750&cat=1,42363,42348

fishingmich » Today, 00:07[/url]"]First off, this is one of the sweetest, cleanest builds on here. Nothing fancy but everything is extremely functional and that's the name of the game. I love to see that you get your kids involved in fishing too, that's awesome. Ok now, where'd you get those dry bags and screw on covers? Those are pretty sweet and I'm thinking of putting something like that in mine once I start it back up.

Thankyou Im a bit of a minimalist myself, so i tend to keep things simple and sparse.. Im very happy both my wife and daughter enjoy fishing and cruising around the lake, makes it alot easier..
I purchased the dry bags from Canadian Tire, but any outdoors place has them. The screw hatch is 8", same diameter as the bag and I got it from my local boat store for $6.99, and it comes with a rubber gasket to make it waterproof..

What did you decide to do about seats?

Well my wife and daughter like the bench style because they move side to side, turn around, put their feet up,etc. I am contemplating a seat in the stern but really i dont find myself wishing i had one when im out on the water. I like having the openness in the stern to stand or even sit facing backwards. I do like the look of a seat, so I may eventually add one. If the sliderG5 was available in canada, id add a seat more quickly... But a fixed seat isnt what i want, so Ill wait till they market to canada ....

Thank you

Just returned from our cottage vacation. Boat worked like a charm! We had a deluge of a rainfall one night, and my cover had two pools of water, so I will have to fabricate some supports out of PVC to shed the water better. Because of the pooling, the cover got pulled away from the stern, leaving it open and it filled with rainwater. Quite a bit. This was the first time I would use my bilge pump, and let me tell you it worked like a charm. Emptied out in no time, then took the boat out on a plane and flipped the bilge on to empty the rest. I remember asking on here early in my build about whether a bilge was necessary and someone in their wisdom said 'not until you need it'. Boy they were RIGHT!! Anyways, here are some pics:
