Need an inexpensive boat top? Don't laugh...

Ok Bill I can't say I didn't laugh but they say there is a little redneck in all of us:smile2:. But it is a way to save money and everyone will know who you are on the water.:smile2:

 

I've seen a few of those over the years. Here's the one we used to use.

 

Howz that work out in a stiff breeze?

 

Good idea. A man has to do what man has to do.

PEEDEE CAT

 

Nothing to laugh about. A fisherperson has to do what they gotta do out on that water. Last 2 yrs when we was fishing in a tourn from 6 am till 2:00 pm in July and Aug your real happy to have something like that.

 

I aint laughin I am gettin ready to do the same:wink:
There aint no other way like the red neck way!:wink:

 

I've got a little umbrella that clips to a chair, and as goofy as it probably looks, there are times it makes the difference between fishing and not fishing. I've sat below one of the local spillways fishing for hours in 100+ heat, while anybody else who showed up was gone within 30 minutes. One of the best $6.97 I ever spent.

Here is an idea for an inexpensive winter boat cabin :smile2::

 

I really like that bracket you made! Very cool, cept I would have use a camo umbrella:smile2:

 

Hey Bill, I would'nt laugh....been doing that too for years. Works great and a guy can find em cheap at garage sales and thrift stores.
Stores easy and just takes a rope for those real windy times.:smile2:

With the right rod holder make shift it articulates where its needed...

Far as looks...who cares when your there to catch fish!

 

I've been doing that for a couple of years also. I found one that knuckles in the middle, so it can be adjusted as needed. The wife was a little P.O. ed when she found out where her umbrella went, but when she realized the results after being in the sun a while it was OK. All it cost me was a new patio set. LOL Later Andy

 

That looks like a fine idea there, nothing wrong with making good with the things that you have, plus another good thing is im sure it works good about keeping the sun off of you, thank you for sharing the pictures with us, and good luck.

 

Sure wish I had it this weekend after getting sunburnt like a tomato.

Might be redneck but it'll keep ya from getting a red neck. :wink:

 

We all may need one to get around if the gas prices keep climbing. You could also drill some large holes(1.5") in the bottom a a 5 gallon bucket tie it off of the back of the boat and it will keep you pulled straight. Just make a rope handle for it as the metal ones tend to pull out

 

Goda love them rednecks:big_smile:...sb
