NEW Fitchin' Macheen!!

Introducing the NEW Box 7.5

Chances of me havin' a boat to take to the beach this year are lookin' pretty slim...we leavin' Mon so I decided better put something together...the old wagon will have to do...gonna be fishin' a good 2 miles from the house, so gotta be prepared...
Ample fish-cooler space, angled rod-holders, attached filet- knife and cast-net...

Bow-mounted drink-holders...field-tested for beer...can only speculate they'll also work for water, sports drinks and the like...the 7.5 spec is w/tow-handled fully extended...

Cast-net box hangs on the transom of the craft...

Cutting-board and knife a MUST

Cutting-board hinged on top of net box via two nylon straps

Plenty of leftover space for tackle-boxes and more carefully considered stuff...all riding on soft, deep sand tested tires (I pulled the kids across these same sand-dunes on theses same tires 20 years ago) the Box-7.5 is fully equipped for a day's fishing!!...

Since these pics, I've added bucket, beach chair and umbrella....any suggestions of what more needs to be added to the Box-7.5 from all you guys who've spent countless hours shore fishing will be appreciated...:clap:

Got the fuel-flow meter mounted...just can't figure where to hook it up!!...:head:

[Pipe_Dream]

as the Lab cautiously inspects unknown contraption . . .




Two miles? Yer gonna need a bigger cooler. ;-)

[RWilson2526]

I bet it will float.

[randlemanboater]

Looks good REEL....I love surf fishin.

I always like a loop of rope through the handle to let me get out front a little more so I dont run over my heels with the cart.

If I were gonna be down there when you are I'd have taken you out on my V.

[draglink]

Nice!!.....but it needs a 383 Stroker!

[bgreene]

How much " horse power " does it take to move that rig through soft sand ?

[Road King Cole]

Looks almost complete, should have a mounted bottle opener for those bottled refreshments...

otherwise, PRETTY COOL!!!!!

You and your onboard grill...some of the BEST dogs I've ever had!!...and I bet the others who scarfed 'em up that day would agree!!...:hide:

Thanks guys for all the comments and helpful suggestions...LOL!!...ya'll are GREAT!!...

RB...if my aunt hadda shvanger, she'd be my UNCLE!!...:you:

BGreene...as equipped, I calculate 1 FBG&P...(Fat Boy Gruntin' & Pullin'):beer:

PD...Mama's bringin' backup!!...:party:

[Stinky_Hooker]

Very cool!! I like it!!!


I think it gets miles per beer MPB not MPG unless he is drinking rum.

[Cam]

Great setup...I have spent MANY hours surf fishing...nothing like it. Now all you have to do is mount a 50 lb kid onboard and see what it will be like hauling that huge Lunker Bass.

:love:

[tenchi_the_fish]

The motor is checking out the new hull...lol

[willy]

That is what I was going to say, hook up a sled dog harness to the pup and you will be golden.
Surf fishing was one of my fav's, still is.
Good luck on your trip, Oh is she named Reelapeelin II

[Shawsee]

Great fishing cart REEL! I sure could have used one of them years ago (before boats) when I fished the Cape Cod Canal. Why didn't I ever think of something like that is beyond me. So simple and so very functionable. Way to go..

[charlie_the_tuna]

man, you're gonna be workin' your a$$ off draggin' that thing in the soft sand. go get 'em.

[Destroyer]

Well, there is no doubt in my mind that with that Dexter/Russel knife set-up you are going first class all the way, so any suggestions I could make would only be minor things... like putting a hold down bungie on the rods so they don't bounce out at speed... Maybe a coat of paint for water protection? Things like that. That thing is awesome!! :clap::clap:

[reelapeelin]

One more pic...junk in the TRUNK!!...

Thanks for all the comebacks guys...this has been a hoot!!...

[tsubaki]

I like it reel!!
I gotta make close to the same thing to drag stuff down to the dock, if I can get off my butt long enough.

[chumbucket]

man, you're gonna be workin' your a$$ off draggin' that thing in the soft sand. go get 'em.
I'm tired just thinking about it. :sleep:

[lumberslinger178]

reel that thing is bad arse .... reminds me of a rolling chuck wagon I once built for camping...:clap::clap::clap::clap:

[phatdaddy]

looks great, i'd stop off at skools and pick up the riding cub cadet to pull it with.

[reelapeelin]

I'm tired just thinking about it. :sleep:


It crossed my mind as Tenchi suggested earlier to let the Lab be the motor...but then I got this mental U-Tube about a cat runnin' across the road ahead of her while strapped in...it'd make a good video, but wreck an otherwise good fishin' expedition...I did a test pull to see what would fall off and it's actually not too bad...a little exercise probably won't do too much harm...:zip:

[spareparts]

Reel , I still haven't had a chance to run the proline, I've got it all back together, just haven't had any time ti run it, if it wasn't untested, you'd be more than welcome to use it

[captpete13]

Talk about pimp my ride, That thing looks great.

[reelapeelin]

From outta the blue!!...didn't even know my nephew had gotten another boat, but he's gonna leave it at the beach for his favorite (well, maybe) old uncle to use!!...so now I'm faced w/decision to take the beach wagon or not..probably will cuz now it's got all my tackle, etc in it!!...LOL!...:sand:

[spareparts]

hey Reel, I didn't even think about the McKee, its dirty but turn key if you need it
