Well here is the finished project. We only have some cosmetic cleanup to do but it is complete. I am very pleased with the results considering I really don't know what I am doing

Mike - You have done beautiful work at a huge cost savings!!! Congratulations!:D

Here is the launcher sitting on the boat which gives it you a better idea of its use.

Now he has an "8 holer"!:D

That is a lot of 'tackle'!

That is something to be proud of. It looks like the one in the picture.

Any one who can afford a boat like that can afford one for 1k+!:D

But then by being 'frugal' and NOT spending foolishly one can obtain things not other wise attainable.

That really looks nice there!!!!!

Ya gonna 'take orders'?:rolleyes:

Funny you mentioned that. All the guys on my fishing web forum all said i should start making them for profit. I would consider that but I still have a lot to learn i.e. woodworking in general. Once I have some more experience under my belt doing different things and using all my tools I may try to start building some stuff for the fishing crowd as they always seem to have a lot of disposable income to burn on fishing stuff. I really liked working with the starboard plastic lumber the only problem with it the cost. A 4 X 8 sheet of the stuff costs hundreds of dollars not exactly comparable to a really nice sheet of Oak/Birch ply. But it is a necessity when building stuff for the marine environment as it is extremely stable and UV proof plus it doesn't rot or corrode.
