Would anyone be interested in a fiberglass dog house? Potter is thinking about building a mold for one he designed and and is toying with the idea.

Squidrig,
Potter will be here this afternoon and I will see if he can bring drawings so I can scan and post them for you. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Excellent, keep in touch. My mid 80's T-Top has got to go and a doghouse would really compliment the boat. Thanks HermCo

Squidrig,
Link to Mr. Potters doghouse drawing.If we can generate some interest or find some people who would want one we can build the molds.I think they would be great for the boats up North. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Thanks Hermco...do you know if you could make any modifications to the doghouse, basically are there more than one molds which are assembled to construction the unit? I like it but would rather it without the seat in the front. Any idea on cost and time frame on building. Thanks again.

Squid,
The doghouse is at this time just a concept.If I can talk Mr. Potter into doing it we could have parts from molds in about a month.We would be able to build them with or w/o seat fwd. just a matter of putting a block in the mold.

Another idea for you guys to consider, if you have a t-top or bimini, is having a full canvas enclosure made. Snaps all around to either the t-top or bimini. Run one of those little portable propane heaters in there and it really takes the edge off on cold days. Best part of it is you can rip the whole thing off when it gets warm and you don't have the encumbrance of the permanant dog house.
