 Use dual 2x8 runners about 8"s apart that are 2' longer than the shack with the ends curved up like skiis.Put suports in between each set of runners then puck puck board on the bottom.This will slide easy.I used 12" threaded plastic tank lids for hole access.Put a solar shed light or 2 inside .A Big Buddy heater will keep it toasty but I recommend using a 20lb bottle with filter and hose or buy an adapter to refill 1lb bottles off of a 20lb.Make it a double door so you can drive a quad inside if you want to trailer both to a lake.I would definately insulate it.My next shack will have fold away beds for an over nighter.Make a filleting fold down filleting table outside.I would do all the construction with screws.Make the benches on hinges to fold flat to the wall to allow room for a quad inside.Paint the floor with an oil based paint.I put rod holders on the wall in line with each hole,this allows you to dead stick one hole and jig em in with another hole.
