Default RE: Sterling 48

Thanks Bob and Dauntless, “necessity is the mother of invention” somebody once said. I needed the wagon to get my 20+ pound PT boats around. It started out as a Radio Flyer wagon that I stripped down and used the running gear only. I had a previous one and the metal wagon corroded in a very short period of time. I had a plastic shop cut me a piece of 3/8 inch Plexiglas and mounted the wheels to it. It measures 15 by 34. The pieces of wood captivate the boat stand and the other small piece of wood is where I hang my transmitter. The caster wheels on top allow be to roll the wagon in to the back of my Suburban without me breaking my back trying to reach in. The white tube holds the launching rods. The only thing missing is something to hold the boat on to the stand. I tried bungee cords but they did not work. I have to go up a little hill and the boat would slip back when everything is wet. Now I just pull on the handle and reach over to hold the boat. I’m still working on a decent design for the cabin side so I can continue with the assembly. Dan.
