thinking i would like a little boat to fish the spots i cant get the big girl
I can buy a 10 foot punt for about $1200 to $1400 (he hasnt worked out what he wants yet, new) or the guy will lend me his jig and I can build it for about $750, maybe a bit less OR do i keep looking for a rough old 12 footer which is being a bit hard to find (the orignal idea was to find an old 12 footer for around $500
Please keep in mind the more it cost, the more i have to work
cheers

Knowing the way you tackle a project Blaze I would think you will build it yourself in a day or so. :) Just build it, do it when the weather gets bad and then you won't have to worry about going out. I will wait for your pic's :).

I think this will be a next winter project now, as my mind is nearly made up on the M&G, if I try to do both means I would work more often, cant have that now, can we
