i got a slightly bigger one that I built a few weeks ago. it is made from a shelving unit i bought at Lowe's. Fool you are more than welcome to it if you want it. It is taller than this one I built today. I can take some pics of it if you want and put them up here.

it seems like it is strong enough....i would like to build a poling platform to go over the motor so i would be willing to take you up on that if there is something i can do for you.

[adamsfence]

take measurements or bring your boat we'll do it i have the welding machine and everthing just hit me up we'll do it.

[Mediumheavyaction6'6]

let me think about what i can use for the platform part of it and i will shot you a pm. let me know if there is something i can do to pay you or how much you are thinking it will set you back in labor and materials.

[adamsfence]

you gonna be my laborer so how much you charge materials are free you might just have to go buy you some bolts or something. i have to take the fence down anyway and the customer pays for that....lol don't worry bout that i like to go fishing in different places you can take me to try it out

[Mediumheavyaction6'6]

that sounds like a hellauva plan to me! what would you say the piping weighs? you think the finished product will be less than 100 lbs?

[adamsfence]

depends on how strong you want it i have some thin wall and some heavy stuff the thin stuff would probly support you and it is real light i think we could get it close to 100 maybe a little less

alright dude! i am pumped i really appreciate it. like i said i need to think about how i am going to fasten it to the boat and what to use as the platform. if the weather doesn't hold up next weekend maybe we can get together then. i will shot you a pm later this week we can exchange numbers and see what works out best for us.

[adamsfence]

i also used to work at a fence buisness we would make all kinds of stuff out of the toprail, i made plenty of deer stands i would make 3 4 ft sections to prop up against a tree

100 pounds should work, Medhev...that 's about 1/3 of your weight.

wow, 1/3 is being generous i know you can't tell from the pics of me but i am actually close to 500 lbs. i carry my weight really well and i still have pretty good mobility for a morbidly obese person. I am a few donuts from riding a little rascal around wal-mart filing my cart with flank steaks and manda sausage.

[Mediumheavyaction6'6]

looking at poling platforms now. the boat is going to be rigged out and ready for some reds on the fly!

[huntin fool]

The bote is going to look sweet with a casting and poling platform
