I don't know much about floundering except what I have been reading and getting tips on myself, but as far as rigging or mounting anything on the boat where you would use wood like 2x4 or 2x6 or anything other than plywood here is a tip.

I went to Homedepot and bought some of the plastic synthetic wood used for building porches and decks. It is kinda heavy but totally water proof and quite strong when used properly. It is really easy to work with and not too expensive. Sometimes if you are looking through their wood rack you can find a piece with the end broken off and they will sell it to you for next to nothing, I got two 6' pieces for about a buck fitty.

As far as gig poles go, and I was told this by another member, go to home depot, and back in the trim section they have 14 foot long,one and a quarter inch diameterpoles, you can trim them to any length and only buy what you need, cost is $1.36 per foot. I just bought mine this evening.

Hope this helps, everyone here has certainly been very helpful to me.
