Hellbender Tutorial

[Bender]

Laziest, fastest thing I've done in awhile. I don't use a Backrest, or Seat, but here goes.

Get a Plank.

Get a Pencil.

Make cuts.

Screw together, and paint. I'm not gonna show that part, but you can imagine how it would go from here...

Good luck. Easy, inexpensive, fast, simple, easily stowed, anybody can do it style. Goes great with Boats that are much the same. Then foam it, name it, write Team-Whack'em Updaazz, add personal touch, ect...:eusa_shif

Pics came in to me via BMan, and it was worth sharing. Thanks Guys.:wave:

Simple and functional I like it. I think some guy might have given a suggestion similar in this thread.

I need to build one without any padding so my naps will be shorter.

He also did one heck of a job grassing the boat up!

By the way the guy is 6' 4" and loves the boat!

awesome plastic chicken-wire woven grass...that thing looked great! Made me want a Hellbender even more.

And btw....DO want stake-out holes!!

That "duck contraption" on the back of the boat...... did he take the little school bus to school while growing up???? What is with the curves in his wings and that color scheme??? Would that be one of those "ghetto rap ducks" there :toothy5:

The boat looks AWESOME but I am 6' 6" and a little wider than I want to be....

[Greenhead2]

Dog fennels work good too.

A skateboard deck works great as a seat while paddling and laying out on.

I think the fear of dying after having pig shat in his eye has him out if the closet again.
