    Homemade bimini top

    Glad to help. Let me know how yours works out. My original plan was a fold down but never got that far.

    driving lights

    I mounted some car fog lights on my front rail. They have real thick glass so you don't have to worry abou rocks and sticks cracking them. Sorry, I don't have pics handy. Be careful and check your laws. I'm in Indiana and its illegal to run those lights at night.

    Plastic Bait

    I love making soft plastic baits. Here are some pics of some I made recently. These catch some good 'uns too since I can make everything custom. Let me know what you think. I'd love to start my own business making plastics, cranks, spinners, and rods.

    Thanks Rich. If nothing else it was a good time in the garage with my kids making something.

    Homemade bimini top

    Here it is almost finished. It is bolted to the boat with bolts and wing nuts so it can be removed pretty easily. It's surprisingly sturdy for PVC, only slight movement side to side. The tarp will be cut about 3 inches longer/wider than the frame and then the 3 inches will be folded and glued to...

    LED rope lights for interior

    Hey Outdoorsman. I completely agree. I like the look of blue and I can definitely see better with the green. I have a headlamp with red and one with green so I turned all the lights out in the garage at night and used both to figure out what I liked best. I found I could definitely see better...

    Homemade bimini top

    Theoretically yes, on plane cause I don't move too fast. The past couple years I have only fished a 13 acre private lake so ill be fine there. Taking it out on bigger water may be a problem. But I plan to mainly have this on when my kids are in the boat. As far as trailering, I plan to have it...

    Homemade bimini top

    Ok, here's what I came up with so far. The frame is basically done, I just need to shorten it by about 6". The pictures aren't that great but more will come one I get it on the boat. It's not a bimini and it's not a t-top so I guess it's a bimi-t. Anyway, the material is completle 3/4" PVC but...

    Newbie from Indiana

    Hey Outdoorsman. I'm a little late here responding cause I've spent all my time in the mod section. Anyway, glad to have you aboard. I'm on the southside by GWood too. I'm over by Stop 11 and 37.

    Homemade bimini top

    Has anyone made a homemade bimini top or t-top for a jon boat? I'm drawing up plans now but just wondering if anyone has had success with this. In my head now it will either be metal tubing or pvc. I'm thinking about starting with pvc and if I don't like it I can at least use it as a template...
