Surely you could weld something up?
Was thinking along the line of large Pvc pipe with tapered ends.
Great for catching whiting off

There is a guy who had a factory around the back of Mordy and he would make these dry dock thingos for
boats all out of welded plastic, not quite sure how thet worked??/
Maybe filled them put the boat in and then pumped out the water.
Ifeel the tricky bit would be to have "water dynamic" front and ends on it maybe they could be made then slipped onto a
thick pVC pipe
just found this one made from cell foam and fibreglass

It's a great looking vessel gerkin, would love a woody like that one although if it sprays water anything like the AI it would need a pump too.

the plans dont include the yak, theyre just for the amas (pontoons?), crossbars and mast mount, I reckon it would be a cinch to fit this to a placcy yak.
