FT good call on the fittings catching!Those fittings were catching on frozen ice chips,snow and every other God dang thing out on that lake and to top it off I didn't have ice cleats so dragging the sled around was tough to say the least,but on open ice it was a breeze.
The cabinet was large enough to hold a 20# propane bottle,Colman road trip grill,deep firer,cooler,ice traps and extra clothes for the kids, so that aspect went well,not to mention the frame held together considering it was being pulled & dragged over every obstacle out there.
I think the first step is to snap on 3" 18 guage galvanized flue pipe with & out any fittings,I'll have it bend up over the front forks,this should make it glide over uneven ice pockets & snow,i hope!
As for the fishing report.........There was eight of us and we didn't get a tap in 5 1/2 hrs.The snow squalls & wind kept up all morning & the temps musta been in the mid-lower teens,but the kids hung in there, they skated around playing with hockey sticks and tennis balls,and checking out other fishermen who were lucky enough to pull a fish through the ice.
As for pics on the sled....Well it's just not worthy after yesterdays hastle,so until I finish the top and galvy runners no pics.
