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.

What did you end up with? need to make me one and would like to see what you made; I'm always up for a new design.

Mines just like a rectangle sort of thing post pics soon same as dtachmed but without the transmitter holder.

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.
