Built one almost identical for my 1436 Alumacraft. Except 3 fittings, one for the bow, one for the stern, and I added one "T" post in the center for extra support, otherwise all 1 1/2" PVC. Dang thing still cost almost 50 bucks, but it's perfect!!! Thank you!!! Keep up the great work SR! Subscribed!

lol yeah it’s been great. My cover did lose its waterproof coating after 2yrs and it started leaking through the cover. I actually used rustoleum leakseal rubber coating on it and it actually worked really well to waterproof the cover again lol

Mine melted in the summer. I built one out of 1.5 inch and it melted too. I might try a piece of conduit through the middle.

Wow I haven’t heard of pvc melting just due to summer heat. Usually pvc has a meeting point of 185-200 deg. I haven’t had an issue but mine is 3” so a lot thicker. Did it visibility melt or just start sagging really bad? Thinner Pvc will deform when hot and under a load

Cut it right in the middle of the ridge and put a “T” in. It’ll help with the sag. It wouldn’t have to be in the middle and you could put a couple of them in if it’s really long span. ✌️Cool

Nice solution. I might try this and see how it holds up to Alaska snow. What about putting a 2x4 or two on end under the ridge pole, screwed to a short horizontal piece to make sure it would won't fall over? The top end would hold up that ridge center pole and keep it from sagging. I think to keep it from slipping off the ridge pole you need to cut a shallow V into the top end of the 2x4 and/or drill a hole and lash it on with some twine to keep it in place

Yeah I think that is a good idea. Depending on how long you boat is you may not need additional support, but 2x4 vertical support would work perfect esp is there is snow weight. Maybe jigsaw out a slot for the 2x4 to sit in and screw it to the side. My first though was to just bolt it the the side but afraid it would rub the cover. Best setup probably would be to put a pvc T and have a pvc vertical support but it’s more $$$.

If you put a length of metal pipe in the pvc you will eliminate the sag

Great and short and to the point. I’ve just watched a dozen videos and yours is the best! It’s the easiest and simplest plan out there. Thank you. Wondering what you would do if you needed more support midway along the ridge-line? I have a very heavy tarp. Thanks so much. Just subscribed. 😊

I really appreciate view and support! Mine sags a little bit as I said in the vid but it really doesn’t impact it at all. I would try it without and additional support first. Then if you don’t like it I would add a “Tee fitting” in the middle of the ridge line and add a vertical leg/support. Let me know how it turns out

@@Skinnyriver i just sold mine not too long ago. It was a good boat for many years. Finally dragged a hole in the bottom. Fixed it though. I always just leaned mine up againt the house because it doesn't have a drain plug.

Thanks for sharing this. I have been looking for something different for my 14 jon boat than what I have which is made with 1x3s and 2 blue tarps but the thing is so heavy getting it on and off the boat which is kept on a trailer and with a bad back its getting to be a pain, for real. This looks like the deal though.
