    This one is a prototype, it needs some improvements and will likley not be for sale but it shows the direction I am going for the Boat Net style.

    With this style of net I made a major change to the normal procedure. As most nets in boats will be wet for extended periods of time I used a Waterproof Marine Epoxy for the hoop glue up instead ...
