Good idea about the carpet basskisser, I like it.

As for the bigger boat, I've already got an 18' fishing boat so I don't
need to get anything bigger right now. This boat is mainly to keep in
my backyard and play around with when I didn't want to hassle with
dropping my big boat. I like the beer cooler idea too.

The creek is very shallow during low tides, and I often have to lift
the shaft out of the water and paddle through the shallow parts if I
don't leave/return within the 3-4 hour window of High Tide. I'd like to
find a way to more evenly distribute the weight from the battery so it
doesn't drag the boat in low water as much. I'd also like to make the
seats more comfortable and perhaps hollow them out so I can use at
least one for storage. In addition to drinkin beer, I do intend on
using the boat to do a lot of fishing, travel over to the islands that
divide the waterway and the ocean, and simply enjoy the scenery of
summer in Wilmington, NC.

What are some other good ideas?
