otter sled

My brother had an otter sled to try using in the boat to have a way to organize the new texas rigged decoys. I was going to buy one, but he said this has been just sitting in his garage doing nothing. Had to make a small repair on the back right corner where it had cracked, but other than that she is sea worthy.

Then I guess it would depend on how high you can stack them.

Dont think I've ever seen a sea otter, but the river otters can get pretty good size.

Sea otter are the bigger of the two. They have been known to go up rivers. The 4 foot otter you saw was much more likely chance to have been a sea otter. River otters are considerably smaller than the sea otters.

Here are 3 river otters in my small spread, on a slough I hunt.
