    it looks pretty sturdy. the edges will wear the most, it wouldn't hurt to have 2-4 layers of glass on them or even to hammer some aluminum or stainless angle to shape and screw or 5200 it to the most vunerable edges. i'm assuming there are a lot of rocky riverbeds.

    Reinforced edges

    I was going to reinforce with Uhmw but I decided to save it for my next build. I am going to run this one to see what improvements to make. Most sloughs are mud bottom and narrow. Yesterday I was in my 18' intruder and I felt I was herding fish up the slough. One was a pike well over 40". The Agi though is one of the coolest rivers I have ever seen. All dime sized rock.
