new casting platform i built

[Mediumheavyaction6'6]

here is the new and improved casting platform for the front of my boat. all PVC and two cutting boards from wal-mart. I would like to that fishinpox for the design idea. here's hoping a few reds meet their demise from that spot.

idk if i'd trust the boards...wait....I WOULD trust them....since im only 75 lbs....but....ya think it'll work?

does it flex to the sides where you have no upright support??

Based on the size of my feet and my weight, the weight distirbution would be less than 3lbs per square inch.

it may be hard to tell from the pics but there are three T's and two 90's on each side of the platform. there is little to no flex because of the joints. the pvc joints are a really hard plastic so they don't have move at all.

i have been jumping up and I mean literally jumping up and down on it for the last two hours it seems to be fine so far. there is a center support that crosses in the middle under the cutting board so the weight is distributed pretty evenly across the top down the legs to the bottom.

well if it doesn't work...you've got one helluva cutting board!

let the haters hate. if i do fall in the wawa i am ok with that. i am almost certain that if i do fall into the water it is not because that platform broke. it will be because i can't stand up.
