New Way To Anchor Pontoon Boat
I made this giant coat hook out of a 10-in. long, 3/8-in. dia. pole barn nail. It's a man's coat hook if there ever was one. First I cut one inch off the sharp pointed end of the nail. Then I used a 20-ton hydraulic press to bend it into sort of a "U" shape. The next step was to drill a pair of holes 1 1/2 in. apart through the nail and then screw it to a wooden board. Then I painted the nails black and varnished the board to make everything look really nice
It's something you can look at and right away tell it's a nail, but it has a rustic appearance and looks great inside a house. The head of the nail is what catches your eye. If you want, you can put four or five hooks on a single board and mount it on a wall.
So far I've built two coat hooks - one for adults and the other for kids. I'm willing to make more for $5 plus S&H.
Anchoring my pontoon boat has always been a pain because of the large anchors that are needed. To solve the problem I came up with a pontoon-mounted bracket and winch system that easily raises and lowers the anchor. The unit comes with 40 ft. of rope, a mounting bracket, and winch. I'm willing to manufacture the unit for $68 plus S&H (anchor not included).
By cleaning up an old fuel oil tank and elevating it 8 ft. I have my own gas tank right on my own property. The tank is gravity fed and doesn't need a pump. It comes with a locking valve, fuel filter, 10-ft. hose, swivel nozzle, gauge and storage platform. The entire unit can be moved on a snowmobile trailer. I'm willing to build units for $575.
