Hi guys, thought I'd post up some photos of my newest idea-the Sneaker Sled. For the past few seasons I've been obsessed with trying to design and build the perfect waterfowling sled. I wanted something that would meet these design goals-light, concealable, able to carry a lot of weight, towable behind a boat, able to be used in snow, ice, mud, and shallow water, and able to be used as a blind when unloaded. After a few prototypes I settled on a design and got to building-here she is!
Specs- LOA 90" (****pit 72"), Width 40" (****pit 30"), depth 10", weight 30-35lbs
Built of 3/8" Divynycell marine foam core w/epoxy and fiberglass sheathing, keels sheathed with Dynel fabric for extra wear resistance-this was my first time working with Divynycell-it's awesome stuff! They are using it to build everything from tiny personal kayaks to 100'+ ocean-going sportfishing boats-it's light, very strong, and closed-cell so it won't absorb water if it gets exposed. I can't wait to build more stuff with it! Combined with epoxy it makes a very strong, light, and durable structure.





In the interest of using it as a blind, I had my wife help me make a removable blind cover-it is made of 1000D Cordura, and is held in place with a removable conduit bar and some heavy-duty snaps, with layout blind style doors-


I can't wait to see how well they actually hunt-next week can't get here fast enough!
