Post poling platform ideas
I'm about to build a poling platform for a 1848pd boat with a 36 pd.

I'm planning on using 1 1/4" round aluminum tubing, what wall thickness should I use, would .125" be sufficient?

I am going to have it some of the back at 70degrees with the platform about 4' above the motor at its highest point when its tilted up.

Sound good?

more ideas and pics of yours would be great!

Here is one kind James built a few years ago. Comes apart for easy storing away.
