I'm extremely happy with this simple little addition.
Do you buy or build that?

I really like that idea.

I built it from some aluminum angle, 1.5" pvc, and some large aluminum rivets. Since that pic was taken, I went back and added more pvc tubes to it so it'll hold 13 rods now.

Thought I'd share a pic of how well the insulation in the cooler seat works...... I went to the lake yesterday to do some fishing, and put one 16 pound bag of ice in the cooler. Stayed on the water all day, and brought the boat home to rewire a few things so it sat in my driveway all day today in the sun. There was still ice in it tonight...... PS is also supposed to be sending me a new seat bottom with some mods to it to be a test dummy. I hope their mods work as good as mine, or I'll be patching the holes in this one and just using it. I'm also adding a couple of pics showing my favorite way to spend time on the water.......
