Pontoon stripping apron

[Martin McFly]

I'm not sure if mine had one but when I purchased I didn't get it. It does have a casting platform which I don't use a lot so I need one. I've seen a couple around but before I spend $ 25 I'd like to hear if you guys have any homemade options.


Thanks

Martin,

If yours has a casting platform, I'd just use a stripping basket. You can make one if you don't already have one for just a few bucks if you go to your local dollar store. Do a search for stripping baskets on this site and you'll get all the info you want on how to make one.

TT.

Martin,

Aren't you going to need something on a belt or you an hang under a support used to steady you when standing? I would think a regular stripping apron would not work with a casting platform.

I have heard some people complain that when over turned it held them in so they couldn't get out. I would stick to the platform and use a basket as suggested.

what did they do, go over some falls ?

I don't remember but, I think they went into water that was slightly over rated for the toon

It was technically a tube, with an apron from a toon, the apron worked fine as long as the tube was dry side up. Only when it went wet side up was the apron an issue.

As you probably know this is not hearsay.....
