I decided to really take my time and try to create the perfect duck boat. By the time i figured it up i was looking at roughly 75 000 in duck boats and i did not have a single boat that was good in most water fowl hunting scenarios. Check out the grab bars made by gator tail and go. I am not saying that you have to buy it but it is a good way to get a design in your head.
I just copied it for my boat and really like it. Tubes come pre notched and the handle is cnc formed as they are in the pic. This is the best diy grab bar build i have seen so far. Don t screw it down if you hit something hard enough and really need the grab bar that som bitch wil rip out if it is screwed down and there is no tellin where you will end up.
I did make one change by bolting a 1 by 6 board either side of the seat using threaded rod and attached oversized straps to it i was afraid my lardass would pull screws out of the aluminum seat i also drilled holes at the base of the uprights and inserted pins so i can pull the grab. You would have to remove the center bar but once off you have too aluminum grab bars couple ubolts on each leg with a backing plate and your done. And weld the tubing or pipe that it slips over onto the floor against a box or on the inside wall of the side of the boat.
