The PVC pipe boat stand which came with my boat is a bit rickety. John Ball suggested that he and I make a pair of better ones from plans he downloaded from the web. The stand designer is David Jensen of Bellevue, WA –
Thanks David 🙂
Today we built two of these and we are well pleased with the results.
I had wood sufficient on hand and John furnished the dowel rods and hardware costing about $8 /boat. We deviated from the original by using plywood for the boat supports.

All that remains is the sanding and a couple of coats of polyurethane.
Done!
