What do you currently have for a gin pole? Are you going to attach this boom to that?

Why not mount it to a piling on your dock?? Seems like a better idea.. Less junk on the boat

Be careful! 200 pounds may sound trivial but out on the end of a boom will put a lot of stress on the boom and where its attached at the base. Don't get hurt!

All set, I went to metal source and bought an 8' pipe
The marina wouldn't go for that nebe plus the tide is 11' at my place so the poles go up n down alot
Just need an extra hand getting coolers into the dock carts
