DIY Floatation and Decking

Got any pics?
I’d love to see the Tripper setup.



Thanks,

Tripper cover
i don’t have any digital pictures of it. I made it in three pieces with the 2 end sections fitting tightly over the boat. The middle section is expandable to accomodate gear. I then glued the sections together. There are pockets in the middle for holding spare paddles. The cockpit rims are made of polyethylene sprinkler pipe in a vinyl cloth tube glued into the cover. It attaches with lift on the dot snaps with the dots in alternating directions so no one force on the cover could release them. I made vinyl sprayskirts of the same material. It’s called vinyl coated nylon scrim and is available in a number of different weights. I put ballistic cloth on the edges where the paddle shafts hit the boat.
