Nuttin like a good shade tree!!!!
Ant nothin wrong with that set up! I need to rig me up a shade tree myself.
Looks good!
Show a pic of how umbrella is attached to the pvc, please.
Looks great. That would make the cranking a whole lot cooler.

broharrell, I used a 2" PVC connector and used 1 1/4"reducer for the umbrella pole. The umbrella comes in 2 pieces, the umbrella and the pole. The pole diameter is 1 1/4" dia. Slide the pole down into the PVC and cut to proper length. This rig is over 15 yrs old. Got it at WalMart, and they have 'em now! Hope this and the pic helps. Almost forgot, secure the pole inside the 2" PVC with 2 sheet metal screws, one at top and bottom.Attachment 240762Quote:

I am going to try that umbrella set up. Thanks. Also, what kind of seat is that in front? Do you like it better than standard cushion type bass seats? Why is it better? I am needing a new seat and I am curious about this one.
The seat is a Millennium Marine B100. Best seat on the market. Like sitting in a recliner. You can sit in it all day without back pain. Contact E-Z on this Board, he'll fix you up!!Quote:

I like my sportsbrella and my fan.

Thanks looks shady (in a good way)! I will have to figure out how to mount the umbrella in the center of my 2015 pontoon without screwing it up. LOL. I also need to get some of those offset pedestals for my pontoon. They have the seats jammed up against the front. Can't hardy move. Problem is that it has those large different type pedestals/bases. Will need to look in to that.
I've been in up to 10mph (no gusts),Quote:

I used the table base and the tube for the sportsbrella. I put some foam in the tube so it wouldn't move around. As far as the seating goes mine is a little cramped up so I was using the offset post but I just recently got one of these bases. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...6b4f071807.jpgQuote:

great
The offset posts have a nasty habit of trying to toss you over the side. the little clamp on fans from wally world are nice but every time I go there will be enough wind that I never use them. Thought about working a misty mate into the equation. The sportbrella makes all the difference in the world on those 95 degree days. brella, fan and misty mate all going and might have to take along a light jacket.
And a mosquitoe net for those gnats

Not sure but I think I saw some when I was at GrizzlyJig. You could call and ask Lou.

Pretty sure Grizzly has them
Great idea. I will investigate. ThanksQuote:

Not to bad. It did fall over today but the back was up when we took off. My feet do dangle so I'm probably going to cut the legs a couple of inches.Quote:

why not just ditch the pedestal??
Yep...I would remove that pedistal and just use a standard swivel seat mount
I just had another one deliver today and I'm gonna try that one without the pedestal. I'm 6'3" so I don't want to sit to low.Quote:
