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.

Yeah the paddles are a little longer than I expected(they'll be prefect for the bigger rivers). We thought about getting a kayak paddle for the smaller rivers. I got my archor rope and coupler today. I'm going to get a section of chain this week and I'm going to make my anchor. I guess the next question is whens the first trip ::rock:: ::rock:: ::smoke::

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. :lol:

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.

Brother has got one I was thinking about,..I just took it back a month ago after keeping it a year :lol:

May have to go get it again and make me a removable rack so we can use it for other things also.

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.

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. :)
