[QUOTE="jcchappy, post: 269057, member: 8396"] I built some pvc pipe floats for my 1432 jon boat friday night. I took it out saturday morning, they worked faily good. I think I need to use 6" or 8" pvc. I used 4" and they work but boat is still a little tippy while trying to walk from back to front to throw traps. Just being able to stand up is a big improvement. The way I mouted them you screw them to the top of the boat so there are no screw holes anywhere near the water line and if you don't like it there are onlt five small screw holes in the top rail on each side that can be filled with silicone or something. The way I built it you can stow the floats for moving or while loading and on the trailer. Once in the water you can pull the pins and the floats pop out to the sides at a limited rage so that they have pressure on them to keep side to side roll at a minimum. as I said they work really good. In the out positon it doesn't show it but there is a rope to limit how far out the float will travel. [/QUOTE]
