We need more hints on how to make this easy. I've connected a bunch of my PVC trees together to make sort of a diamond shape - but by the time I got it out of my boat, I had drifted off (they were pulling water) of where I intended for the structure to go. I had to go back with scuba gear to move it where I wanted it.
I attached one end of the structure with a rope and tied that to a cinder block I set on a pier. Then I used my remote control trolling motor to move my boat out until I could pull the cinder block off the pier. I had another cinder block on the other end of the diamond shape - but it was still pretty hard to get it out of the boat - and I had a piece of plywood on my boat to make it easier to slide off.
I put pallet bed on the boat then add rocks inside corners of pallet. Make sure to balance rock weight even all corners. We place pallet so bottom boards are pointed out otherwise each board space will hang on rim of boat when pushing the overside.
