Yeah, but how about showing how it actually works in the water? The crutches were a smart solution, anyway, since the "kink" is built in -- my having no way to bend tubes.

From experience, the crab pot buoys/floats lift a large amount of weight and don't need to be that far out from the canoe to do it's job. I had mine snugged right up against the side of the canoe and we were in a situation where the undercurrent wanted to pull the canoe down but almost impossible with those floats on. You don't have to worry about clearing brush and obstructions when they are snugged up against the canoe.

Don't they get in the way when your paddling?

This is the best setup because it allows use of the middle seat.

Ok, !! That’s brilliant, simple, and cheap! 👍👍. I’m renovating a 15ft fiberglass canoe. You saved me a good bit of money with your stabilizer. Adjustable two ways, you can fold it away or just remove it easily. And you can design any piece to be stronger or lighter. I’ll have a 42” high light aluminum solar panel roof that’s going on the canoe and stabilizers are needed. The good quality versions that we find on-line are $$$$$ simply overpriced. Thanks👍

Unrelated to the stabilizer but by any chance, do you know where I could buy a plastic seat (front of the canoe) I just bought the same canoe and the seat is broken.

Do you want the floats riding in the water, or above the water ( there just to prevent tipping)? Also, do they interfere with paddling?

I’m from Missouri, show me ! 1. Very kind demonstration - on dry land. “ brilliant “ even. As others have said. But let’s see the acid test. In the water. 2. I think you need 3x as much styrofoam on each side. Remember this is for emergencies, when you lean over accidentally. Like when you are landing a fish. 3. I’m skeptical of a plastic t-connector. I’d use metal.

Added this to my canoe this past weekend with a few modifications. The struts for my crutches were 7/8" diameter and I thought it was too much slop in a 3/4" PVC T-fitting even if I used tape to fill. I used 3/4" CPVC which was a snug fit for the strut but still drilled a small hole through the fitting and strut to insert a cotter pin. The CPVC was looser in the floats than the PVC but a few wraps with Goriila tape snugged it up just fine. I added caps to the ends of the CPVC running through the floats. I didn't want to drill into the canoe sides and wanted to be able to quickly remove the entire setup. I used 2ea 1"x 6" boards as the main support. The lower one was cut to the inside canoe width just under the gunwales and the top piece over the gunwales. I used a carriage bolt inserted from bottom to clamp the two boards onto the gunwale at each end. Drill holes for the carriage bolt just a bit smaller than the carriage bolt and tap the bolts into the holes. This allows the square under the bolt head to dig into the wood so when you tighten the nut for clamping, the bolt doesn't spin. Rather than wing nuts I used plastic knobs for ease. I also replaced the wing nuts on the flag holders with plastic knobs. Finally, I drilled two large holes in the top 1x6 board for cupholders.
