A formerly unknown resource for paddlers & boaters

I put in an inquiry for oarlock bushings today and the following link came to my knowledge. I have never heard of the company before, however they have a wide variety of products those of us who have boats, canoes, kayaks, pontoons, etc., need from time to time and for aspiring boat builders they seem to have a wide choice in design plans. On top of that their prices look really good compared to the big name marine supply houses. No recommendations, just a heads up.

Now a couple of questions: I am working on my old jon boat 14 ft. 54" at gunwales, and need a small piece of green astroturf type carpet (2' x 4') does anyone know where I can buy a small piece like that?

I have the old boat fixed up pretty good for fly fishing the wiring for batteries and trolling motors have been minimized, good bass boat style seats with front pedestal. I was considering building a casting stand (stablizer) for the rear fisherman. Would that be worthwhile and make the boat more appealing to a buyer? I'm thinking of seeing if I can sell it for enough to get a outfitted Nucanoe.

Duckworks is a great resource. Used it for years and just assumed others knew about it. It is worth going to regularly just for the magazine content. Mostly boating and not fishing, but a lot of folks building and sailing small boats.
