010 Do you think think---------

You use to build them out of wood, this here is fiber glass, but underneath the
fiberglass is wood, but I use a pine. or some other woods like this in Canada made
out of ash is what we always made our boards out of cause ash has some good
flexibility and real good strength. But they started turning their there thing so dag
gome small in the net that we'd pop them coming through the surf because when a
boat runs on the wave like a surf board, You have to hold it with the oars to keep
the boat from flipping. A twelve foot sedaby is not from Canada is 462 bucks and
that was three years ago, I guess they are around the same. You just can't hardly
get um', so I started building them out of fiber glass. I would get a piece of fiber
glass top and I don't know where they come from. My brothers come back with
four or five pieces and I made a bunch of oars out of them. And I cut the blade out
and drive it up into the -stock--- and put the fiber glass'over it. They turn out to be
good oars. I lost one in the river last year, my favorite one, -----, And I thought
they would float, and i had thrown one in the water and it float, The one I didn't
throw in water ---. And I usually put a brown stock up in it so that if something
happens and you have to let go of the oar to grab something in the boat or
sonrebody falls out or something. It will run out, hit the stop and stop

026 ------ I'm real funny about stuff like that 028

 Ivy- So what's the stop, this or this right down here?

This is the stop here and that's the blade. This -- here hasn't been s--pped in over
twenty years. I was looking for them the other day and found the damn thing that
amazing. I got so much junk that ---------------. ---------- about an inch an a half
of insulation in between so that if I catch anything the cast net I don't get in trouble
with the local marine patrol. Now I've got the ice in it today because were not
really fishing today were're just going to be playing around the kids just want to
roe around. My kids they don't really know how to roe a boat, cause I just don't
bring them around the business that much. They love to play around it so I rebuilt
this thing and I said ok will just take this thing over an play around. I don't
have but three life preservers so only three people can go at a time
