Add-A-Seat

Going to fish the crappie masters next Feb. on Harris chain with TnT. So I thought it would be better to get a add-a-seat so we could both fish out the front. Well my tracker has the 2" dia. pedastal. Could not find anyone that makes them for that pedastal. One guy here in town said he had the material left from another job and could make it for $195 +tax. Couldn't see spending that much for something I'll only use 2or3 times a year. So got to thinking there has to be a way to do it cheaper. This is what I came up with for $22 in material.

Where there's a will there's a way.

I got my doubts.....you did say TnT didn't you? Might be a couple feet to close......I heard he gets a tad bit excited when he catches one....:Rofl

Looks good! Yall need to go and feast up the night before at a good smokehouse and ate yall a bunch of bbq beans, coleslaw, collard greens snd pulled pork. Keep eaçh other nice and warm. Could be a tad brisk that time of year. Lil methane always warms the soul, or something like that anyway.

Where are my armrests?????:Rofl:Rofl:Rofl

Looks good to me & not any heavier than aluminum, nice work :ThumbsUp

Since he is so handy with woodworking, and if we take Huntinslabs advice, Russ better build one of these in the back of the boat!!!!!Attachment 173340

I thought that was what his glasses and glue can were sittin on. Right close enough to not miss a bite.

Epic fail coming...............looks like about 10.00 worth of material and the old saying goes you get what you pay for. Two buckets would be safer...........LOL:twocents

Well here you go BUDDY.

Thermal properties

Rigid PVC

Rigid PVC can be used only in a narrow temperature range. The lower limit is-5^{oC (23f)}

If it gets down to 23 we all have more to worry about then pedistals

Hey if you think it will hold you and your partner, great.

Nice looking double Russ, hope you have good luck with it.

looks great.

I Like it. Any time you can DIY something I'm all for it. Keep us posted on how it works. I am about to start working on a project boat and I may use your idea.

Did you try E.Z.T Poleperch? Brandon makes a very high quality double seat pedestal for under $100.00. 1-478-319-9049. I absolutely love mine.
