Nice Jeff. Got to love those beds. I am ready to get back to building some after we get these last few tournaments out of the way.

Nice!
That was awesome. Never put any out. But I have seen some great ideas on here. Nice job
Crazy question here, but how do those work? Looks like they wouldn't be to hard to make from spare pallet parts and they cover a good area. Probably wouldn't be to bad for bass, either.
What do you put on your boat to keep it from getting all tore up

We actually buy our runners from a local sawmill and then cut them to length. We also buy bundles of various width scrap pieces from the same sawmill and rip our stakes down to desired height and thickness.Quote:

Oh and by the way they will hold fish.
If you notice in the 2nd video we have built a couple of dump beds of 2x4 and blandex and if you have a slick material to attach over the top of it then they will slide right off into your desired spot.Quote:

You can certainly make them from pallet parts but be prepared for taking a bunch of weight to sink. Pallets are generally kiln dried wood where beds like Jeff is building and what most of use around here is green sawmill wood. Doesn't take near as much weight to sink the green wood.Quote:

Great looking beds. Not stirring, but wouldn't hurt to wear pfd while doing that. Just saying......
Yes, whole heartedly agree with "D" on this subject. Having personally gone into the water 2X so far cannot stress enough being safe. Placing cover is enjoyable and reaping the rewards is better yet, however please always be SAFE while doing so ! Actually WEARING your PFD while on the water and especially while dropping cover is very easy and cheap life insurance, can honestly say that both times that went in never expected it would happen (again) but was instantly grateful that had it ON me as well as the couple others who also took the sudden and unexpected "splash". Far better to be safe every time than to forever regret not wearing it...
