All was ok once she realized how much more area she had to ride around in. Thank you.
post some pics

We put it together to try it out. Now that I know how good it works, I am planning to spend the money on black HDPE and make one that will hold up longer and doesn't look as bad when on the boat.
Looks almost identical to the version 2 I made. My blade or gate it self is 14 x 24, so it's pretty big. Need to get pictures of it and post up. Mine is designed to switch from Regular to Goofy.Quote:

Got my first try at a gate done last night. We'll try it out tomorrow.

Are you putting anything between the gate and the hull to keep it from getting damaged?
Looks great!
