BUILDING A SAILBOARD

Post by Jason »

HAS ANYONE TRIED BUILDING A BOARD? IF SO I WOULD LIKE TO PICK YOUR BRAIN. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND AM READY TO GIVE IT A SHOT. ANY INFORMATION OR ADVICE WOULD BE GREAT.

THANKS

It's a brutal job! Iasco in St. Louis Park has everything you will need except a blank and boxes. After replacing a couple boxes and some other major repairs I decided I would much rather pay someone anthing they want to fix/build me one!

A BOARD FOR THE WATER. HOW DO I FIND THE ROTHMAN BOYZ? OR THEIR FATHER. DO THEY HAVE A SHOP.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BRUTAL? IS IT COMPLICATED, TIME CONSUMING, TOO EXPENSIVE OR WHAT?
