misfish Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 (edited) I wanted to make this smitty more versitile. I wanted to add a seat and also have it in the hub with me to so all my stuff was still packed in a dry place. Put the hub and auger to the back so there was no wieght in the front to drag down the front of the skis. Good call Terry. Took the seat off the toon and the base just snaps on the lip of the tub. Just turn the seat and it fits in the tub Rod mounts, that I just slide on the tube to hold the rods. They slide on snug. Going to add those coiled liner cords and attach to the eye bolt and to the rod. Just encase. Simple smitty that packs up quick and fits just nice in the truck. Just need to paint it up.

misfish Posted November 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 (edited) looks good Thanks bud. My only next project will to fabricate a tow bar. As we all know, you cant tow it with just the rope. Did you keep that attachment from your old flip? Edited November 26, 2016 by Brian B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronzo Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 Looks great! I have a plastic tub sleigh that I pull when I walk out onto Simcoe. Definitely need to grab a pair of skis and rig something like this up for myself - thanks for the guidance! Sweet seat too, man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headhunter Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 A buddy of mine built a Smitty, not nearly as nice as your Brian, but what he did do, is put steel grate on sections along the lid, so he could put his portable heater in it and sit on it, in the cold. The Smitty was always warm and as everyone knows, a warm tush leads to a warm body. He never uses a hut. HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
