Dwight,

Neat project. When we build our pond, I might have to look into that for the uniqueness it adds. I have one question, and no disrespect, but why are the side cleats so close together? You might have been able to get away with 3 cleats per side - 1 aft, 1 near the bow(?) and the middle spring cleat. The two aft/bow cleats could have been used for the extra 2 you have in the middle of the bow and the aft. Again, just curious for the reason, thats all. Thanks and can't wait to see the pics on its maiden voyage.
