Just remember one thing about anything Bowman does, it's way overdone. Cut his material list in half for yours and you'll be just fine. 10 people could stand on the front of his deck and it wouldn't bow more than .001".
Just remember, my motto is "Overkill leavesno doubt".
I didn't know how to build it off-hand. looking back, I probably could have used close to half the materials I did. Live and learn. Butnow I knowwith the PVC I can build it and try it out for strength before I put it on the boat.
I'll post it up here when it's done., weights and sizes and all.
