Yes,...I like the two bladders,.they run the length of the pontoons. Only problem I see with the two bladders in each pontoon, is getting each of them fill with same volume of air. Paddles are long as a three week pay day,..or maybe i'm just use to the little ones we always used on a jon boat.
I have one set of hole drilled off center on one of the foot pegs,..but I'll fix that.
All in all looks pretty good.

Probably for me,.. it will be after Turkey Season. Definitely after I make some way to haul this thing ,..man its bigger than I expected.  Wished I had a small trailer like yours,..I have some 3/4" square metal tubing here that would be great for making a rack to haul them on. Going to order that boy of mine one too,. after i look this one over real good to make sure it's the right one.

Look around a lot of times you can find an old trailer that needs some work for about nothing. To me putting a few dollars and some sweat equity into a small trailer is worth it. that way you can just keep them inflated and ready to go. If you want me to I'll look and see what I could find here.

I checked at two more Wally Worlds today for your type rod holders,..either they haven't got them in,.or just don't carry them any more.

I was at the Hazard wal mart last night and they have about 20 of them. I thought most wal marts carry the same products. They are not with the other holders in the Hazard store they are on the top shelf a few feet down.

I'll print the photo and ask the clerk at my Wally world sports dept to see if they ever get them in,..or maybe looking in wrong place.

Started to go ahead and get me a good battery for the trolling motor,.but I knew it would be after T-Season before i got into fishing. The battery has 3 year free replacement warranty,..so I thought I would just wait so the warranty would last longer. Definitely those grand babies has pa paw around their fingers, yelp forgot to tell ya,...I have two of them.
