I used a 4x8 sheet of plywood and pontoons from a one man pontoon boat for a larger deck, on a 15' ram-x installed 3 seat pin holders, then a smaller front deck for the foot control TM. Like yours everything was removable, for white water fun. Hoping who ever stole it, enjoys it as much as I did. 😠
With the coolers having a huge flat surface it shouldn't cut through the water at all. Probably if one cooler hit the water. It would.spin you in a circle. You cant even utilize the coolers. Have to put a case of beer and a large bag of ice in each to keep them balanced. But then you'd flip your canoe or fall out trying to reach one.
How did you only use three 8ft long aluminum pieces. The long runs are 8ft, so that’s 2. Just wanted to know lengths of the braces for the cooler and the center brace pieces. What are the dimensions if you don’t mind me asking? Awesome setup man. Doing this to a canoe right now! Thanks in advance
Sorry, just now saw this comment. I misspoke, I used 4 square tubes. I originally bought 3 so that’s why 3 was in my head. I also joined the coolers with bolts/wing nuts on the handle sides of each cooler. 4 on each cooler. Makes it much easier to break it all down for a solo run. I left the middle seat as well bc it seems to brace the sides of the canoe and keeps its stability in the center. I love this thing. I don’t think you could flip it if you tried. Hope this helps
I wanted to hear you yell at rhe kids, "Dont spill my beer!"
Very interesting idea.

Any issues with the zinc coated bolts? Debating stainless or zinc. Great build! Let's see a new video soon of it in action
Zero issues! Love this thing

Hey may I ask what size coolers you used? I really like yours & I’m building one. 😀
We would love to see this in action if you get a chance! I’m planning on making one of these for my 18ft Wenonah Champlain.

This must paddle like a barge.

Hows it do on the water?
Amazing. Impossible to flip. All the extra storage outside the canoe. Standing on the casting deck is no problem. Love it
@@largemouthbuck thank you!
how did you manage to hold the cooler tight to the bracket? Is it screwed?
It is a tight fit, but I also drilled a hole through the bracket into cooler and I use 4 small bolts with wing nuts to keep it extra tight
Looks really good!
Thank you!!
