fishkiller Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 finally made the big decision,could not manage the tinny any more by myself with such reduced lung power and was making a spectacle of myself at the boat ramp with hyper ventilation problems in the hurry to get out of the way,so i sold it,only used it 5 times in 12 months anyway,fished off the island a few times,but not much close in on the mud,had kept the 7 foot oar's from the boat,so have made myself a 7 foot rowing punt,4 foot wide and 13 inches high,with wheels so i can drag it the 50 metres to the end of the street where the water starts.had all the timber and ply at hand so it only cost me another $140 to build,recyled some bits off an old lawn mower and here it is,ready for it's maiden voyage on monday hopefully if the big winds die down.
