This is my "old" sled... I have since donated it to someone younger and more willing to drag it...

it was constructed from 1/2" ply wood, divided in the middle with doors on each side, each side would hold 3 30" high tip ups...
the top was also divided.. i built my own tip ups, the spools are interchangeable... some set up for trout.. some for bass and pickerel, some for pike.... . the other section was for terminal gear and jigs...

the runners were doubled and cut from 3/4" ply wood.. laminated, gliued and screwed... the vottom lined with aluminum... a fold down tag along helt the bait.. removable auger perch was on the top... custom jip pole holders were made from 1" electrical conduit... and holders were installed for the gaff and slush scoop.. it's downfall was deep snow and it was HEAVY...
it seved me well for many years... as tiem went on i saw it's flaws...
more pics. latter when I get home..

A good run is better than a bad stand!
