Re: Study Plans
Thanks for the reply DM..
Top build by the way.
Hope you dont mind if I use this pic
As I have stated above I would like to fit some rod tubes but looking at you boat there doesnt seem to be any where to fit the tubes & this is why I was asking about the 32.
If I fit a Mirage drive your feet will be in the middle, would that leave enough room?
Or do I borrow an idea from Mullet_key's build & recess the rod tube like his foot rests?
I could cut the side out of the tube where it enters the cockpit to sit the rod back in & maybe go back to full tube to hold the last 50mm or so of the butt.

Re: Study Plans
That's what I would do or put your tubes on the sides of the cockpit angled down into the front storage area and cut the tupe at an angle were it inters the side rail

Re: Study Plans
Forgot to answer the foot room question earlier. You would have some room. Not a whole lot, but the drive wouldn't conflict with the footbraces. You should be able to get you feet in with no trouble.

Hi Matt
Thats the million Dollar Question.
As I am yet to purchase the Mirage Drive I would assume it will be the new style.

Re: Study Plans
Hi Matt
Im back!!!
Have you had a chance to look at fitting a mirage drive to a Wadefish yet. I have been given the go ahead from my good lady wife to get the plans, with the idea to build 2 boats by the end of the year when I go on long service leave & can spend the summer paddling them.
