      Looking great ! 

  If you don't mind some advice.    Waterproof the underside.     Paint isn't enough, unless you plan on keeping it in a garage all the time.     Mine developed dry rot  after about 10 years.

I'm always down to help out! Depending on how this turns out and what I learn from it we could talk about building one for sale.

Let me know if you need someone to draw up 3D plans.

Here's what I've been playing with on CAD while at lunch today.  Converting the rail of my pontoon boat to can so I can start fabricating a radar arch for the boat  :smt003
