OK, good ideas from both you guys.
The "Drop-in" rowing seat is a pretty old idea. I think Wikipedia said it was from the 1800's and the intense Ivy Leage rowing tournaments.
There are plans for those on EBay and the various Boat Plan sellers.
I think they start about $295 and go up from there.
I'll pass on that for two reasons.
Money of course, and the Weight and cumbersome continence in my little skiff. I want some room left for me in there, and those Drop-in's are pretty long, wide and heavy.
Dry Rod, Skate board wheels are just what I was counting on finding in some of those Second Chance stores. I'll find a way to advertize to the Local kids for their leftovers too.
Right now I have an old Dish Washing machine and the wheels on it are fairly water proof. I dont know if they can stand up to the stress of my Bigassa going back and forth for some time.
I also have some Bed Casters that are pretty wide, but they are taperd from side to side so they have one single landing point.
I think that might be hard on the Deck after awhile.
I'm using some of the 'Snap-in' Flooring for a sliding surface. It's hard and weather proof. The pieces I have to use for the proto-type have been out in my burn pile for 10 months without any swelling or softening.
I'm all excited now. After sitting around fighting the cold and frozen pipes for several months I'm up and working again.
We've also had almost 8" of rain in the last two months so the resivours are filling back up again. If this keeps up, the power companies will be releasing water for the Trout stream by March.
OK, time to hit the Yard sales n' etc
