[black][size 3]Here's an idea or two to go along with TubeDude's design (maybe).[/size][/black]
[black][size 3][/size][/black]
[black][size 3]Instead of PVC, there is some material used for rain gutters that is vinyl(there is also lightweight aluminun gutter material) that comes in all kinds of lengths and it is easy to work with.[/size][/black]
[black][size 3][/size][/black]
[black][size 3]Also, it might be a good idea to add floatation in the form of cutting up an appropriate sized pool noodle and attaching it to both front and rear of the tube. You know how things that seemed to have been well secured sometimes work loose when jostled by wave action or the angler movement of casting and catching fish. It would be alot nicer to see your rod holder half submerged or bobbing in the waves, than to just notice that it is gone.[/size][/black]
