- Build overview on a nice 7x7 sun shade on our 2011 Carolina Skiff 178 DLV. Needless to say, I'm happy with how it came out and the wife approved.
Thanks for watching!

Great video. Will be copying this design for my boat. The girls will very much appreciate the added shade
Very cool! Great idea. I see that you save everything too. Never know when you might need it! (that's what I always tell the wife!)
HAHAHA! 15 minute video could have been 2 minutes, but then I'd miss out on the old-man groaning and folksy wisdom. Loved it! Exactly what I was looking for on my boat too!
Best video iv ever watched on youtube!!
Damn. Thanks brother. I should do more videos half in the bag haha
Very good . My brother , one love
Nice video--thanks! I was making my tutorial on installing a bimini, but I was looking at this as a way to extend another shade off of my bimini.
Yooooooo… This video reminds me of me working on my boat. Lol lol. Learn as we go baby. “800 buck..nah.. How about $40.” Loved it. Great video my man. Keep them coming.
Got to say I have watched this video multiple times and you seem like a pretty down to earth dude. Good for you and I'm happy to join your $40 dollar shade club :)

Nice ..simple ...cheap..it's a great DIY
Bob's your uncle!!😅😆
Great video - definitely going to try this
Cool Idea. I was looking for a shade idea for my canoe and this gave me some good direction.
I use a 58" "canopy" umbrella from Walmart (5$ on clearance) that I attached to the back of my seat using PVC and a couple of "U" shaped aluminum pipe holders (1.50$/4) to secure the PVC. No hassle of folding or tying anything down. When closed you can either stow the umbrella or simply leave in it's holder. Also you don't have to fish around the tie downs as the fish does it's best to escape.
Electrical tube and a plywood bender shape your own check they also sell aluminum tubing and just get a Bimini hardware kit
For small crafts
Great video. Great idea and great presentation. I was looking at custom shades for my 32' Center Console which cost close to $2,000. I started to think of ways to make my own which included braking out my wife's sewing machine etc etc etc. Then I came across your video. Perfect. I look forward to making it in time for the weekend. Thank you for your video and l liked your humorous approach to it. Cheers....
I have to tell u I was looking on CZcams for something like a umbrella and u make me laugh really like not a Good sale guy lmao thank for the video
Great design, great price, 7.5 out of 10 on personality.
Generous... But I'll work on it
Good job and thanks for the idea. I am battling the same and have epically failed. I will definitely be trying this design out!
Dude….it wouldn’t be a diy without a little “oops”. I love the design. Thanks for the idea!
what adjustments do you think should be made for a 21 foot DLV? love the humor love the video.
Thanks for the tip .. Tried it and saved me lots of $$ and time too.
Thats about all NASA is capable of really. Not A Space Agency and Never A Straight Answer. The only thing that went to the Moon was your IMAGINATION. It's FLAT! Nice shade.
😂outstanding, it does look like it works great , I may copy your nasa design lol. Good video thank you
Hey man a really helpful video. Panning sometimes sommelier and got some great tips. I enjoyed the humorous manner presented in. Good job man some people have a way of complicating things in videos.
I was quoted $2400. Can’t wait to join the $40 club
Great job like an rv retractable for the front and back I like cheep
Love it “800bucks?? How bout 40”😂😂
Thank you .
Lol man you should see me fight my bimini sum times 😂
Looks Great!
Nice boat, if I didn't prefer aluminum I think I'd go w/ that same boat.
Was just looking at the taco marines finshade 1200 bucks i was like w.t.h , like your idea thanks 😂 looks good
Good down home rigging. 👍
Good job 👏
looks ok
Great job
Good job man!
Sweet!
good stuff
I to have a porcelain skin wife 😂 the damn T top is not enough.
Wind will stretch bungy cords, making top flimsy. Use pipes instead of bungy cords.
Good job.
I'm kinda mad at my self for removing and filling in my bimini top strap holders. I could of done this without having to drill. I have bow rail to run the bungie to.
Nice job I gave you some support
Thanks!
👍🏾
Great idea, how is side to side motion?
Never used under way. Was always an anchored up shade system
Can you list (and maybe link) the materials you used in the description?
I like easy!
Not bad for diy
Cool
How is it holding a year later? I been trying to build one for my boat much needed
Sold that boat but the current owner tells me he absolutely loves it and uses it all the time. To be clear though he does not use it underway and only when anchored.
How much did you pay for the boat? I want that exact boat but man they run 30k atm
I actually sold that boat. Got $15 before the market went crazy. Now they're going for 20-25 somehow. That's a 2011. Insane.
Pitter patter😂
Let's get atter'
How fast can you go with it out like that?
Never really did to be honest. It's fairly stout but anything more than a high idle would probably be a bit much. We used it mostly at the sand bar and when relaxing.
That is some hillbilly @#$% . If was funny to watch though.. Bob is not my uncle... LOL 😂
How to make a $40k boat look like it is worth $25k but at least, you have shade.
Fucking love nasa
