The hiking boards are not legal these days so I don't put them on. The original boat is 60 inches wide. With the narrow boat out heaver weight overcomes the need for hiking boards. Remember, the original was designed for a kid weighing 130 pounds!!!Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13318481025743511902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4184666911908385361.post-56740489490246554452014-05-06T08:01:03.041-04:002014-05-06T08:01:03.041-04:00Haha!

I'm following with much interest. Thanks for posting it!<br />-Eddieeebe4https://www.blogger.com/profile/07369366502650144747noreply@blogger.com
