PVC tank rack

Post by Don-B »

Well maybe this has been done before ,but i made a tank rack for my boat out of PVC tubing.
it took a little over an hour to put together and cost about $10 or so.

If you use sched 40, instead of 80, its tough stuff.

- I got a good squirt in my mouth
- I would imagine that there would be a large amount of involuntary gagging
- I don't know about you but I'm not into swallowing it

well it worked.
the tanks stayed in place and it held up.
if it last a year its worth the money.
i'm going to make up a couple more for my larger boat that will be custom fitted

p.s. i did use schedule 40

Yea, but slight problem...:)

He fitted them for his tanks, and mine have the slightly thicker boot :)
