50 gallon barrels. You'd need atleast 4 of them.

I intend on building one this summer (as well as a floating rail).

cenflskate,thats my kicker. its perfect. but i didnt build it. bobby miller did. all i say is keep it mellow and you can do anything off it. and if its mellow, u can pop off of absorb it.

it has foam underneath it to keep it a-float
