NocEm,

What alum tubing size and thickness did you build it out of?

 

Carpdigger, it is 1.5 inch tubing and for the life of me I cannot remember what thickness. It is pretty heafty though. Deck is crazy stong.

 

I've had a few styles of platforms over the years

 

Hey blazin, What kind of boat is that in the pic second to last?

 

Here's ours....
