[QUOTE="Flatbotm, post: 210670, member: 6226"] There is a bunk in the front of the main side bunks that goes horizontal and isn't even touching the boat so I guess I should extend it up so the front of the boat is supported better. What are the guides usually made from? I was going to weld on some short pipes and extend them up with PVC that had the same ID as the OD of the pipe. Is that the normal method? I will probably still put the kicker mount on the back of the boat for the hp limited lakes. Because on those lakes I won't have to worry about water coming over the back because they are generally no wake anyway. I have another question for you guys. Has anyone on here ever done a permanent overhead tube to have a Bimini type top off of? It would look kind of like a roll bar on a boat. I would obviously bend it up out of light weight aluminum tube. I don't know if it would be more of a pain than a Bimini but I could definitely do it for cheaper. Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
