Thank you for your prompt response.

I am new to this site but finding it very informative.

Your 17R looks great. I am enthralled that you have to contend with "Ice".
It is currently 32 degrees but last winter did drop to as low as 4 degrees.

As a 70 plus Great Grandfather I need a new project and I thought that a 17 may be the thing for me to use in the Pumicestone Passage for a bit of fishing and exercise.

I will check out the local hardward shop to see what they have in the way of pine and plywood.

Regards

Bob
