In Response To: Strip: PVC Pipe strongbacks (David Humphries)
Even with a very short boat, I've be leery of PVC as others have pointed out. If you have your mind set on tubes - you can use 2" square steel tube successfully - mine is .125" wall thickness. I've used it as an external strongback a couple times now, but seems like you could do internal style just as easily.
