[QUOTE="kfa4303, post: 268349, member: 7274"] Here are a few updates since my last post including a few new DIY PVC projects which have turned out great. The grab bar has made a huge difference and only took about a day and $30. I can now stand amidship, center console style while using the PVC tiller extension in the previous posts. As a result, the weight is much better distributed which allows me to get on plane more quickly. Between the two, I have much better visibility, performance and handling. Very handy when tying to to dodge manatees, oyster bars and tourists. My little nephew can even use it and help me steer :) The grab bar is also a great place to mount accessories like the junk tray, umbrella holders, cup holders and hang fishing lures, etc.... It also makes a great rack for keeping towels and t-shirts high and dry and off the wet bottom of the boat. It's amazing how much vertical space there is even in a little boat like mine. I don't know how/why I ever lived without it. Cheers! [/QUOTE]
