[QUOTE="kfa4303, post: 304018, member: 7274"] While PVC is an ok choice, you may find that it doesn't stay stiff enough at lengths much beyond 10', which isn't nearly long enough. Your pole should be at least the length of you boat to do you much good, longer if you plan on poling from a platform most of the time. My boat is 14' an my push pole is about 16', but I'm probably going to make the next one closer to 18'-20'. Notice the length of the pole relative to the skiff. [/QUOTE]
