GREAT vid!! I saw your reply to a commenter saying you needed more flotation. Have you tried adding a couple inches to your verticals that attach to the pods? This would make a big difference. You could try different lengths before cementing them together.

what sealant did u use to connect the pvc to the pontoon?

i had an idea like this but i really like this idea man ty

I've seen lots of diy videos on making these but I like yours the best.

That's the best and simplest design of the many examples I've seen. Possibly the least expensive also. And likely even lighter than most. Thanks for posting it.

This is so cool! Tim what are the measurements of the pipes and how did you connect to the middle of the floaters? Thanks! Where did you get the pins (what are they called)?

Getting ready to do something similar but I'm going to add upright pole holders to the middle support pvc. Thanks for the video.

Can you still paddle when the stabilizers are wide

Tie strap you a big ass pool noodle to them,and you got better floatation!

Dang! I waisted money before I found your video. Great idea thanks

Excellent idea, Tim. Thank you for a simple and flexible installation. Tony R

Lol you kno what this is not the prettiest but who cares , I'm with you on that. I don't want it permanent. Scotty mount idea plus PVC holders looks sleek but this is very inexpensive and quick to make . Going on the river don't need all this stuff and this set up is very fast to break down or assemble. Great idea . Do they work as they should ? Slow the kayak down much ? Stable standing ?

That's exactly how I would do it. We think alike but you did it first. Great job and video.

Brilliant idea, I might copy 👌🏻

Awesome idea. Nice and cheap. What is that strip of metal with the holes in it that goes around the fixed piece of pipe that screws into the kayak called? Can i get it at most hardware stores? I'm guessing you could just use rubber washers as a seal for the screws to keep water out when it rains, etc. Great video and thanks.

Hey Tim, do you think pressuring the pvc floaters would help for floatation? The back of my kayak sits way too low in the water and the front sits damn near out of the water, so I wanna put a valve stem in the floater and pressurize it to like 30 pounds to lift the back of the kayak up a couple inches. Do you think that would help or is that overkill?

What do you use to connect the bigger piece to the smaller piece?

Well made. but does it work? Can't really know without seeing it on the water.

On my canoe, I have mine spread out 3 ft from the hull ( a distance of at least, half the length of my canoe, across from air blatter on one side to the other blatter on the other side. side). I might add, I made mine with two equally sized air blatters for each side (one located, just above the other, per side). Only one blatter lightly skims the water per side, on a smooth lake. If for some reason, one blatter goes under, there's another blatter of equal value, and size, right above it, to add more stability, if and when it's needed.

Having your(shall we call them "PCV air blatters", so close to the hull, may only slightly help prevent tip overs, while standing in your kayak. It depends on both your weight ( and those joining you, and how tall yo stand that has to be factored in. If your a 6 ft. male, then I would spread the air blatters out father away from the hull. The way you have them set, a 275 lb male, could still tip over your kayak, and fall in, by the way you have it set-up. Your height, and weight while standing, will overpower the amount of air that's inside the blatters to prevent you from flipping over, or being tossed out of the kayak. It may work well while sitting down, but once you stand, those home-made pontoons, won't help you as much as they would while sitting. If your a tall male, and have plenty of weight, I'd spread those air blatter's out quite a bit more, so you are more stable while standing.

*Very well-made, stable, comfortable **enjoyable.fishing** recommend love that everything fits in bag. Easy to paddle for single person as well, however might be too heavy to carry by one.*

I'm sorry it won't work

That is exactly what I need. Are you still using the kayak? How's it holding up? Thanks..

Congratulations this is the most simple and practical solution I have seen to date for a variety of reasons. I will definitely consider this mod on my kayak.

I espect to do almost the same idea, but with a spike shape in front of the pipes to move forward easy. Thanks for the video.

Brilliant idea!

So glad i found this video

Is this a bed frame from Puffy too?

What an awesome way to make them. Love the pin idea!

Just saw the video and I think it's a great idea. Did you happen to have a measurement and cutting list for the PVC? Looks like 1" and 3" PVC but can't really tell.

Very nice design! 👍

best I have seen to date. I have just bought a lifetime kayak and was looking at all types of outriggers. I think though I would use large marine fenders and incorporate your extension tubing idea. Was thinking as well using spring loaded clips instead of a bolt and secure these to the kayak so if I accidentally dropped them they don't end up at the bottom of the ocean.. I also like the idea of bringing the outriggers close to the hull when paddling. Questions: 1) What depth is best to keep the riggers just in the water, 2)what angle should they be to hull (same angle to the hull? Or something different.).

Does the duck seal hold the transducer tight during transit (on/off top of vehicle), or do you have to pull it out beforehand? Thanks for video.

PARA FICAR MAIS REFORÇADO . COLOQUE UM CABO DE INCHADA AQUELES DE MADEIRA .AI O PVC FICA MAIS FORTE E O SOL RESECA O CANO DE PVC MAIS NÃO O QUEBRA TMJ

Great idea . Love it

love it ill be making them for my kayak

Awesome

Thank You I enjoyed the full unboxing Good job & with the $300 OFF how much was it total? I'm thinking about trying a box mattress

Thanks for the video Tim! I recently ordered one and am just curious of what other real people think about it, not people paid actors in those commercials. Hope you're getting good sleep!

Yay! You represented normal people opening a Puffy! Scissors people, no box cutters!!!

i like this one the most

Very helpful. Thanks for your time and for helping others. God bless you.

What size PVC slides inside what size nice and snug like that? Also, how do you prevent water from getting inside the pontoons from the pin holes?

Ik this is an old vid but if you could answer id like to know how the middle pvc doesnt slide side to side

have you tried it without putting water in the conatainer ? Just curious if it works better the way you have it rather than mounting the transducer directly to the bottom of the kayak like ive seen other people do.

Thank you for the video. Very informative. Good job👍. This will be a game changer for me

Your losing me with the duct seal and still needing to add water for the transducer. Maybe s others I have seen the transducer is placed with some type of marine goop and works fine. It was my plan now I’m not sure.

Did you just make it even with the bottom or how did you know how high to make them?

Hi . Bloody great idea. Just wish I'd seen this before splashing out £179.00 on a pair of stabilizes 🤣🤣. Will be sharing this amongst my WhatsApp group . Thanks for your great cheap design. Sean

Excellent idea and simple, just a quick question, how did you determine the length of the horizontal pvc out and how long at the 90 degree elbow to water line please
