He's a big bass fisherman and I'm slowly trying to convert him. The holder it self will be 2in schedule 40 and there will be a 3 in sleeve on the pedestal. The holders will be 4 in schedule 40 cut into 3 in rings. I haven't determined how much yet, but I will cut a bit of the ring out and cut a hole into one side and and an open sided slot on the other. I have seen this holder made before. The lines coming off the T-bar will be some type of string support to tie off to the boat it self...maybe at a cleat or something. I will use a 3" to 2" reducer to put the 3" sleeve on the pedestal. I haven't made any measurements on the boat so these are all rough.
What yall think of the idea. A waste of time? or will it catch a few fish and save a ton of money. I think I make two of these for around 40 bucks. Some tinkering and I might have a pretty good idea. Thanks for the input.
