Build overview on a nice 7x7 sun shade on our 2011 Carolina Skiff 178 DLV. Needless to say, I'm happy with how it came out and the wife approved.
Thanks for watching!

HAHAHA! 15 minute video could have been 2 minutes, but then I'd miss out on the old-man groaning and folksy wisdom. Loved it! Exactly what I was looking for on my boat too!

Very cool! Great idea. I see that you save everything too. Never know when you might need it! (that's what I always tell the wife!)

Nice video--thanks! I was making my tutorial on installing a bimini, but I was looking at this as a way to extend another shade off of my bimini.

Yooooooo… This video reminds me of me working on my boat. Lol lol. Learn as we go baby. “800 buck..nah.. How about $40.” Loved it. Great video my man. Keep them coming.

Great video. Great idea and great presentation. I was looking at custom shades for my 32' Center Console which cost close to $2,000. I started to think of ways to make my own which included braking out my wife's sewing machine etc etc etc. Then I came across your video. Perfect. I look forward to making it in time for the weekend. Thank you for your video and l liked your humorous approach to it. Cheers....

I use a 58" "canopy" umbrella from Walmart (5$ on clearance) that I attached to the back of my seat using PVC and a couple of "U" shaped aluminum pipe holders (1.50$/4) to secure the PVC. No hassle of folding or tying anything down. When closed you can either stow the umbrella or simply leave in it's holder. Also you don't have to fish around the tie downs as the fish does it's best to escape.

Wind will stretch bungy cords, making top flimsy. Use pipes instead of bungy cords.

How much did you pay for the boat? I want that exact boat but man they run 30k atm

@downstateradv 2 жыл бұрын

I actually sold that boat. Got $15 before the market went crazy. Now they're going for 20-25 somehow. That's a 2011. Insane.

Sold that boat but the current owner tells me he absolutely loves it and uses it all the time. To be clear though he does not use it underway and only when anchored.

@downstateradv 3 жыл бұрын

Never really did to be honest. It's fairly stout but anything more than a high idle would probably be a bit much. We used it mostly at the sand bar and when relaxing.
