Brand new boat with the full setup including drop top/table combo. Beautiful boat.
Finally starting to cool down a little here in SW Montana, maybe even some frost this weekend if we are lucky.
Thank you to all our customers.

We are now offering 18" sand spikes for sale on our website. We decided to go with 1/8" welded steel. We've made our own personal ones in the past out of 1/4" aluminum and they just dont hold up with the beating they get so this is what we now carry in our boats. These are mega stout. About the same weight as alum 1/4".
These are cerakoted, and we have several colors in stock right now but after these are sold we will only be doing 2 or 3 colors in the future.
These come with a synthetic rope lanyard and carabiner. $65.

Been a while since posting and just letting you know we are still going at it, we have added to our employees and are actually putting out product faster with the same mad cow quality. Over 150 boxes on order this last month and a half and frames, anchors, floors and tables are rolling out one after aonther.
Wildland firefighters, several states search and rescue, universities are clogging the system so if you need one of our products "early post run off" you need to get on the board. Thanks for your business.

Some great colors and textures thought I would share. Spring is in the air here in the great state of Montana, and I love it.

I know these pics of our shop are old hat to most of you but did need to post an excuse to extend a xmas and holiday greeting to you all.
All these 60 boxes have just been cnc bent this week and 90% are presold.
Our small shop is getting stacked up with brand new boats bought by clients and shipped direct to us from the manufacturers for the boxes, frames, floors,tables and anchor systems we produce. It's been a really busy year with some delays in our locking latches for our Bear boxes but we are back at full swing with very little time off.Thank you all for your business trust you have in us.
Merry xmas and happy holidays.
Jim and Todd

Fun times on the river and fun times in the shop.
Now opening up our shop to #anchorsystems check in to get a spot.

Starting to get a little chilly here in #Bozeman, it's been a fantastic Fall season here in #Montana.

Thank you for your patience and business this year we appreciate it.

Recent trip for a couple of mad cow people who were lucky enough to spend several days on a secret stretch of a Montana river. Check out the clarity of water, unbielevable. Good days fishing, great company, two legged and 4 legged friends.
