I'm looking for some ideas for a homemade grab bar. The problem i have is that i do not have access to a welder, other than finding someone out in town to pay and have do it. I'm looking more along the lines of something i can mount to the foward part, or side of my gun box, and something that can be pulled out and stowed away when i get out to my hunting spot. Here is a pic of the inside of my boat. I'm looking to mount it to the gun box on the side of the boat.

Thoughts, ideas...

Here ya go!

the mudbuddy info above looks like the deal

but my bro-law built one out of threaded iron pipe and iron tee etc from lowes
used conduit clamps to connect it to boat

where u located, if you are close, i could build you one in our fab shop

Thanks guys. I have seen the Mud Buddy one and have considered it. I had thought about taking a walk around Lowe's and seeing what i could come up with. I have a couple ideas floating in my head, it is just going to take some time to look around and see if they have the parts i need.

Thanks for the offer brianb, but i'm up here in VA...

Might try this one

Go to Godevil web and buy one you can bolt it in that's how my old boat was

Hey ichabod. I used the lowes roofing shovel on my nfz knockoff like brad uses on his boats. It works pretty well and I put my gps mount on the adjustable side handle. Uses an 1 1/4 floor flange,a 1 1/4 x 2" nipple and a PVC bushing to mount to the floor and then half way up I used an 1 1/2 nipple with a flat plate welded to it to mount to the side of the boat.

Thanks for the link guys. i had looked at that grab bar before...i just can't spend that kind of cash right now. thanks though.

You should give me a call tomorrow. I can send you one that I build out of all aluminum that will bolt up to the side of your boat. You can pull a pin and take the grab bar off at any time. $125.00 shipped to you. (225) 252-2700 ...Jessie

I can shoot some when I get home this afternoon. It wasn't cheap but not super expensive. I was in for less than 100 bux.

Here you go ichabod. Hope it helps.

Thanks for the pics man. I'm going to head over to Lowe's tomorrow to see what i can find and put together. Thanks for the offers guys.
