Put a bit more work in today on the smitty. I added the external rod holders with my fish-proof deadbolt lock. I attached a fold down shelf on the outside. I also added the tow rope and took it for a spin on the dusting of snow we got here. She handled alright maybe it was the leaves still on the ground but the skiis really put a lean on when i tried to turn it. So I am going to find a better way of bracing them.
