I went to the hardware store today to pick up those adjustable things you attached to your boat. Problem is, i have seen them before, but i don't know what they're actual purpose is so i didn’t know what section to look in. I found something similar in tbe paint department, an attachment to connect a paint brush to a long handle, but a) it was plastic and i didn't think it would hold up and b) the reciever hole was flat to accomodate a paint brush and i would rather not have to modify. What exactly are those things? Electrical? Flag holders? P.s. i think i will use 4" ABS pipe rather than foam floats.
They are metal flag pole holders. At my Lowe’s they are up front kind of in the garden section. Where all the flags are. I looked at the extra one I bought so I went and looked. They are called “rain or shine” that’s the brand. Hope that helps
I will. When I wrote that question I was just going in to Canadian Tire. I went to the boat section and they had something similar but, again, plastic. It also came with a pole and flag. I will try to find a couple of metal ones online. I'm only vaguely aware of how I'm going to attach the pipe, but I will keep you posted.
Hi great work i have a couple of questions if you don't mind i have a 1432 jon boat i think it's 350ibs people total of 500apx the thing is i need to carry 1000lbs total payload also i want my wife to fish with me and she is scared of the boat so i want to make it as stable as possible to ease her mind i love your work and your style can you give me an idea of what these floats add to the boat capacity it's very important to me and I greatly appreciate you sharing with me that's my story thanks again keep it up
So I googled what the weight capacity of your boat is. It says 580 pounds. I dont know that I would even try to come close to 1,000 pounds. The most I’ve had in my boat is around 550 pounds with my brother and I. It did fine but even with 4 of those stabilizers if you try to put your wife on there too I don’t think she will ever get on there again. What are you carrying that weighs 1,000 pounds ?
My boat is listed at 500lbs as well and myself + my fishing partner go over that by 200lbs as I'm about 250 and he is in the 400 range. Combine that with the 130lb kiddo and we still roll out without outrigger. Definitely thinking about these 😂. May make my trips safer!
That’s a good question. I think I would keep it the way I have it now. I can get into tighter spaces and still have plenty of stability. A few weeks ago I took my daughter and her friend out and it was very stable. Either way is good but with two float pods per side it’s more stable but they would be in the way with the 2 ft. Poles.

Also let me know how the pipes work out

They work great. They will definitely at least help with that
If you left your boat on one lake , which way would you go with
That’s a good question. I think I would keep it the way I have it now. I can get into tighter spaces and still have plenty of stability. A few weeks ago I took my daughter and her friend out and it was very stable. Either way is good but with two float pods per side it’s more stable but they would be in the way with the 2 ft. Poles.
Awesome, Thanks
lookin good
Thanks, I’m a little sad that the original broke but I actually think this might be better.
