Dan,

I really like your idea for making the boat stand.  Real easy and an exact fit every time.  I agree with DF about the 'Boat-tote', really neat.  I see the tube down the middle for holding your launching cables and the side stop to prevent side to side movement.  Very ingenious setup.  Do you have a "tie down" strap to hold the boat on?

You can check out Sintra on the web or maybe find some more cheaply from a sign shop in your area.  I've been using mainly 2mm but have a large tug that need the superstructure rebuilt and I believe I'll use 3mm for most of that rebuild.  I'll be able to cut it on one big piece and bend it around a form or possible free hand with warm (hot) water to soften it a little.  I'm still learning some of the tricks used to work with it.  But for straight or slightly curved it's a snap.

The Corvette hull looks really nice sitting on the wagon, especially with the port holes.
