[cool][size 1]Hey, TubeKid, you are the plumber in the family. I have never worked with the schedule 20, but suspect that it would work fine. Have you ever done a side by side test for weight...on two pieces of equal length...to see what the weight difference is?[/size]
[size 1]What would be ideal is to come up with a design that works best for tubing and then find an injection molder that would make some like those they sell for boats. The walls of the tubes are light but strong, and there are no heavy PVC connectors. Everything is just bonded.[/size]
[size 1]Those are the three tube and four tube models I gave you guys. They get the job done, but they require too much modification for our style of fishing. It would be great if we could get them made to order. As I recall, that 4-tube pre-fab weighed less than 2 pounds.[/size]
