Forgive me, but what the heck is this "trekker" of which you speak ???  I'm sure it's got nothing to do with Kirk or Picard :-\ :D

LOL :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:................its too true I guess I should have just thrown them out but I dont think I would have been able to get it together without them I had a hard enough time trying to figure out what the heck the instructions even meant before I started...........I hate how they word instructions........it almost like you need a professor just to translate the meaning :D  but the thing is together and I really like it...........am thinkin about takin it out for a trial run tomorrow

I used a ratchet and a power driver and put my Trekker DLX together in less than an hour. I even used the instructions.

Put my new Fishtrap Scout together a couple weeks ago and it was just as bad.  The directions on several things on how to assemble would not work, had to improvise!!  f-n-f
