Post Bowfishing platform?
I have the new f4 and i was wanting to make a platform to shoot carp with and rig it solid enough to stand on and be able to take on and off without having to drill holes to bolt it into the boat anyone have good luck with a clamping system of some kind pics would be nice?

Cowboy thought- a thong on a woman is like a barbed wire fence. It protects the property but doesnt obstruct the view.

I have the rear of mine turnbuckled to the grab handles on both sides and in the front I drilled a hole and put a bow eye behind the front navigation light and used a turnbuckle. The bow eye protects the front light from someone kicking it also.
Can you post a pic of you front deck so that we can see how it could be attached?
