Yo Gary do you have any of that tubing left? I would like to remove the plywood from my con-ferr rack and use some lightweight stuff for the floor.

That one on the rack in the pic is a intex seahawk 4, got it for 69$ shipped on eBay which is almost half price of amazon.com, I also have a intex seahawk II which is super heavy duty, literally a scaled down version of a white water raft!

The river is high right now, made it from Knights Ferry to Orangeblossom in just over 2 hours!

Sweet thanx guys if you don't mind me asking what does it cost to build on of these? I'm looking to fill pretty much the whole roof with a basket rack something like 48" wide by 70" long just a rough at the moment...

I will post pictures of my mounts tomorrow, they are really simple, and I have 20-30$ in this rack, but also take into consideration I have a large fab shop at my disposal so I get a lot of freebies.
