New Cooler Float

banjovie · 03-18-2010, 11:09 AM

Her is my latest PVC creation. Floats shallower than last yeras 1. Huge cooler with 6pk acess hole. What do you guys think? It is no comparison to The Fishing Muel from Choppedliver. (That thing is awsomw!) It is just an improve from last years float. All 4" 3034 sewer pipe. I still need to add the tie-down points and tow point. It floated me in the pool alright. Cant wait to try her out. I have a seperate cooler in it just for the fish/beer under the flounder access door!

Good Job man, I think that's really cool.

What did you use to attach the strap to the PVC?

For those wondering, i built it out 4" 3034 sewer pipe. You can built to cooler size, mine is a 72 QT monster. The 1500lb cargo straps are screwed in the pipe with #8 x 1 1/4 SS upolstry screws, with a adjacent load should hold a ton of wt. I sat on it in my pool and it held me fine, I weigh 165. I could see it being popular on Cold Water as a tubing companion. I have ordered a set of Baloon beach tires that i will mount on a through shaft axel at the back end. It still floats a little assheavy with the battery all the way in the back, but dosent touch my shallowest step 2" deep. Took less than an hour to make, at a cost of $35 (Minus cooler).

Thanks for the input!!

Purdy cool stuff.

I like the design - pretty cool. Did you fill the pipes with foam?
