Great pics thanks for sharing. Being so much higher than the floor, do the platforms make the boat "top heavy? It appears you sit maybe 1 - 1.5 feet higher then standard seats? Thanks in advanced.

I got my Pelican 10e with title, and 2 deep cycle 1 yr old batteries for $180 (2008), Trailer was $90, 2 HP johnson motor titled, $70, and 30 lb trolling motor for $10. Total cost = $350. In Texas, boats being propelled by gas or electric motors require titles, regardless of the size. Motors older than 1992 require titles, older motors are grand fathered in, unless they are sold, then titles are required. I have a 16 ft deep V alumacraft, a 22 ft pontoon and a couple buster style boats, and i have as much fun in my busters as I do on the other boats. Love fishing small lakes north of Dallas, that do not allow gas motors,

I am a member of the Texas Fishing Forums, and there is a good thread started for Buster style boats. Here are some pictures of a Dolly a friend built. He has built them with bike tires, also by finding a jogging stroller and using that too. I bought some large L brackets and will build mine using a small bike I got off Craigslist, paid $5 for the bike and will be able to use the two tires. http://texasfishingf...pics/7575229/20 Scroll down on this page and you can see what he has built. If you have time, start at the beginning of the topic and lots of great reading.

This looks awesome, Can you tell us the dimensions of the plywood you used? Length vs width? Also was it 1/2 plywood? Great job, and nice rod holders...

Thanks

Does this cover come with a frame? Also will it fit a 10 ft bass raider? Tanks for the pics and link. Ron

I use heat shrink crimp splices. If I dont have the correct size, I prefit the wire with heat shrink tubing that will fit over the splices. After I crimp, I use my heat shrink gun to shrink either the splices or the heat shrink tube. Works great!!!
