You beat me to it 
I was just going to post this http://www.dxengineering.com/products.asp?ID=14 That other metal piece is called a saddle. Yours looks better to me but I don't know if it's available in SS.
I'll go measure the tube diameter now.
Where can I get a SS bar about 2' long and 1.5" wide, thick enough so as not to bend if someone grabs it?
A planer would fix that in a jiffy.
Thanks Don.
Jeff, how would I clamp a flat bar to a round tube? I want it to be solid like a rock. In case someone puts their weight on it by accident.
Maybe one of those U bolts with nuts? If I can do this myself I would much prefer it. I'll be able to get the boat out much sooner.
Thanks. I wanted to know where to buy that kind of material for other applications as well.
For the top I need a bar welded onto the aluminum frame. Bungees will be attached to that.
There's no room for a rack on the other side. The boat takes a max of 3 divers, so 3 guns. A couple of backup guns can go in the hatch, but I haven't tried it yet to see how long a gun it will take.
Speargun rack bottom part.
Overly romanticized indeed, you delved into the metaphysical there. That bit you wrote, albeit eloquent, sounds like a justification. While interesting to read I was asking more in terms of basic emotions.
I've heard another say it and I agree, a lot of it is about possession. I think it's hard for me as a spearfisher to gain an appreciation for the kill because fish are not dangerous game.
Is that where you keep your floppers <img src= " class="smiley" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x" height="23" width="23" loading="eager" data-tooltip="biggrin" aria-label="biggrin">
OK OK I was thinking tostones
See that first pic of the two racing ? See how broad that dog's chest is ? That is one powerful animal....
I noticed that.
Great pics.
Fact of the matter is....killing often defies logic.Even in the animal world . It's done and so be it.Killing satisfies something in me that only killing does. It transcends the physical like hunger or sex...it's spiritual.
If you'd like to illuminate Aaron.. I always wondered what it is that guys are saying when they say they love to kill. I don't like to kill, I actually have a strong aversion to it, I empathize too much with the animal. I like the hunt and the chase and when killing is part of that it's fine with me because I'm too focused on the hunt to care. Probably a more closer to natural state of being. But understanding that it's still a long shot from sticking a knife into a beast's heart and giving it a slow twist while looking into it's eyes.
I can gain great satisfaction from killing a foe/adversary but it's still another sense of achievement.
So tell me; when you say you love to kill, what exactly do you love? Watching life leave the animal or the hunt; adrenalin rush/focus/relief.
Why is there a layer of clear epoxy over the track and masking tape?
You know Aaron I always thought of sight hounds as very small game dogs, until reading your various threads. I didn't give them the respect they deserve.
Ropavieja - shredded beef
Plantanos Maduros - Green plantains quashed and fried.
Arroz - What no beans? <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
Enselada de aguacates - Avocado with salt sprinkled on top.
Cebollas - Sauteed onions?
Camarones con Ajo - Shrimp and garlic, yum!

Cool. That's complicated for a first build, kudos. What's the blue stuff around the track?
What are you planning to shoot with it?
Do you think it's because they're spawning or because the measures are having an effect? Most people probably didn't know that it was the 19th when the closure started. Considering no one was probably shooting during the holidays the fish would've had a month of no pressure. Whereas everything else is getting pounded.. Its strange to think that I won't be able to shoot something I always was looking to shoot. Maybe it's for the better, it was so rare to see anything bigger than a baby grouper between Ft Lauderdale and Haulover until now. Then I think maybe I just didn't know where they are.. Still hau and his crew haven't gotten a grouper yet, that I can remember.
Alan told me something about a change in the mutton regulations, anybody know anything?
Here's the bow eye.
Bow and transom.
I did a little reading in a RIB forum and some people rig the anchor exactly the way I said I was going to do it. Using a painter with a snap at the bow eye and making attachment points on the rode.
Exactly what I had in mind about tying the links into the rope.
Don, sorry, I was going to post pics of the bow and transom just didn't have time. I will do so in a couple of hours.
As a BTW there are animals that kill for the "hunt" and not to eat. I'm sure some of you have seen the footage of killer whales playing with a seal/tossing it around without eating it. Wolves will also often kill many domestic cattle with no way of consuming everything. Cats will kill birds an mice and bring them home without eating them.
You should be able to use another foot pocket with the Picasso blades. OMER Stingray are good foot pockets.
