Been a slow go with the rain and now the #&\%×÷€£+ mosquitoes. You can't work.out there without them getting in your mouth, nose and ears. So here is what I have managed to get done so far.

Thats the whole idea behind it. It keeps them hidden, out of the wind, keeps them contained and our area dry. It completely stops the creeping. I need to find a good long weekend push to get this project done.

I bought a bug zapper for the front porch. Everyday I have to take it down and use the air compressor to blow out the dead mosquiotes because it gets so caked up with dead mosquiotes the new ones can't get in to get zapped. Essentially there are so many dead ones they create a barrier. When done with the boat I am going to build two large bat houses capable of housing 1000s of bats. I have to do something to get the bug population under control. Thats what I get for living in a swamp.

Any concerns about being a little top heavy with all that steel?

If I could find a barge cheap enough I'd be building the same thing I'm tired of building blinds every time I go out.

They are out there. They should file charges on me for the price I got this boat. I paid 1300 for boat, motor and trailer. I had to replace the lower unit. With a poly floor it will never rot.

Needs to be able to withstand 70 mph wind, or it will fall apart going down the highway.

I could see the wind leveling that thing with only the crapper still standing. grin

Incorrect! If I am driving 70 headed into a 30 mile an hour wind, 100 mile per hour air speed. I built it out of welded steel with gussets. It'll be ok. Lots of yea and ne on the thread. What puzzles me is nobody has thrown in the "Good luck hiding that thing".
