    Here is my info for a DF-33 Stand. Makes for a very handy way to carry the boat and the radio.

    4 - 3/4 90s
    10 - 3/4 "Ts"
    4 - 3/4 Caps
    2 - Sticks 3/4 PVC (I like extra it's cheap)
    1 - Piece pipe insulation
    1 - 1/4 ply for Radio Holder cut to fit. Held on stand with wire ties or screws. Cut slots for velcro straps to hold radio
    2 - Pieces nylon strap for carrying straps. (any width)


    Lenght 45"
    Width 9"
    Height 6"

    Obviously all these measurements can be cut down for your boat. Hope this makes it a little easier. It's amazing how hard something so simple can be. It took me a few hours just to design something this simple.

            I mde 2 identical stands quite some time ago.
            Started out with zero measurements.
            I found a picture on the internet of a design i liked.
            Took the picture to the hardware store.
            Bought a 10ft piece of 1/2" pvc and bought all the fittings in the picture.


            Here's how it ended up



            Look on the table, you can see the picture i printed. LOL

              nice, like the rudder protection - the bow pinch is nice too. I am definitely gonna add straps, way too convenient that way

                Yeah i got some 1/8" rope an made a loop on each side.
                attaching the ends to each of the four corners.
                When it came time to go, i just grabbed both loops and off we went.

                  I use 1/2" CPVC pipe.

                  I found the 3/4" to be too stiff, I like my stand to flex with the weight of the boat ever so slightly.
