The old man died and his son took over the building and it becameClassic Chevrolet parts if i am not mistaken on the name..I have some of those kickers I used when I was about 13 and have parts onmy car from the sons business but he has also grown old and died.I fished Eufaula lake around the bridge pillars in a tube.. It was a truck inner tube I used seat belt strap to make a harness seat.I would walk down highway 9 and walk down the rip rap then launch my tube.My dads cousin  had 3 inner tubes strapped together and heavy cloth over the top of them and then placed a piece of plywood on top.A hole cut in the back of the plywood to drop the trolling motor through and battery under the seat he had on it.He fished from that  homemade raft for many years and caught a lot of fish.When we were kids  we would find old house doors people tossed in ditches and find Styrofoam and make a boat from that.Styrofoam in the middle of the doors all screwed or nailed together.We would leave them at the ponds we fished.Stock tank will work as a boat also.I used a blow up raft many times.Uncle took 2 old car hoods and welded them together to make a pretty dandy boat.Like 1950's Buick hoods.A friend of mine took furring strips and canvas and made a canoe back in the 90's.Painted the canvas to make it water tight.He has kayaks now.I ended up fishing  from a canoe for decades.17 foot coleman.. Made of tupperware type material. Excellent boat for sure.For ponds though the house doors are very stable.</blockquote>
