Love this set up! the two support poles is probably necessary for the height? As mentioned earlier, I could probably just use a 4' piece of piping and just stand, that's probably the best route.


Love the Magma board! Also love the one @svivian made. I got the Magma board after seeing yours @Dworwood Its gonna be good!

Also love all the like mindedness on this board, some awesome ideas and same thoughts, all about maximizing our favorite place and experience.

BTW @POk3s We also have a Wyoming sticker on our collage under the glove box. Andrew went there for a year out of high school, Peter did a year in Wyoming as an intern in PT school, plus our favorite Chinese Restaurant is in Mountain View (Zheng Zhong's), always a stop when we go up into the Uinta's.

I went with PVC pipe with wood dowels and Foam spray to make them ridged and float. I am 6' 3" so i wanted something tall, with that said its probably not as stable as your setup.

A side not for anyone making one of these.... dont cut the drain slots in the back as big as i did. Perfect size for fillets to slide through

May have to put a piece of metal screen over the slots. I drilled some drain holes along the back in mine.
If I use it flipped around and stand outside the boat, I block them with a fish towel so it doesn’t drip into boat.

Looks awesome Dungee. I have a magma board too, spendy but awesome! I stick a bit of pvc with a bolt thorough it in my downrigger to give me extra height.

I rigged a hose of my front live well for a wash down.



If you are going to fish in the winter you need something to clean fish. Sometimes I’ll clean fish while somebody is driving back to the dock.

 

[POk3s]

Oof. Some (Me ) would call that child abuse…

 

[KYKevin]

I got to thinking maybe Dungee built that low enough for NIxon to clean fish
The younger you start the better you get at it. One long pipe one short

That's a great idea might re do mine?

That is a great design, the only problem with me is I don't always have my down riggers! But what an idea. I used existing pole holders for my mounts. My fillet board and wash down hose are probably the best two things on my boat that I would hate to live without! Didn't know what I didn't know until I got them. Never had a wash down before and and now would hate to be without it, it works for a shower and great for water fights with the young ens as well! Thanks for all the input, lots of great new ideas out there that I wish I had when I did mine.

I also decided to make my own board because they are darn expensive. I went with something taller on my design

That looks great. Where did you source your board for that? The raw material doesn’t look all that cheap either. Just with a quick internet search.

found a giant cutting board on Amazon for $40 rest was scraps I had in the shop.

 

[Dungee]

Got the 36” pipe tonight. See how it works this weekend.

 

[Chovyboy]

Here is the board on the new old boat.
Headed down blue notch with her for the first time tomorrow.

Definitely some cool designs and ideas. Canyon Coolers has a "Pro" series of coolers, with built in dividers, that also double as cutting boards. Pretty handy in certain situations.
