16 oz. High Tide or 20 oz. High Tide.....

Love to but my son has his district Pinewood Derby this weekend and then there's the RISSA show.

Thanx Guys I appreciate the comments. Those were all made, ala Flaptail, from Salty's Scrap, I'm trying to get my hands on some more wood so I can get a few more in before the season. Got a couple of small danny's I'm messing around w/ now.

TFF, I'll Definitely make one up for you as soon as possible, Your definitely on the list.

Hey bud, I'm ready to cash in. Though your wife probably has me on a hit list for showing you this site I figure a needle or a howdy as a sponsor fee Nice. You know where Steelhead and I test right?
