Thread: New idea

Two men & a boy & a crane. Good thinking tho.........

Depends on how big a boat you got. A buddy has a rig built for his boat out of 3/4" plywood that he puts stakebeds on. When he gets into position he jacks one side up with a hydralic jack and the bed slides into the water. Some of his beds are 8'X10' with a bunch of concrete blocks to sink

My thoughts and figuring is that 1 bag of rete is about 0.6 cu. ft of volume , and 0.6 cu ft of volume in a 4 inch pipe should be about 5-6foot long, so if I take a 10 ft piece of pipe, fill it with 2 bags of crete (160 lb) I should be able to make a circle about 3 ft across. On that I should be able to fit 8-10 stalks of boo on it, then just slide the whole dern thing off the front of the boat using a couple of 2x4's.

If your TM is mounted on the front it may get in the way...

You might span a sheet of plywood across the gunnels of your boat and then slide your boo bed off the side of the boat....
