Superman Handhold?

I'm going to add a rear handhold to my buildoff boat. I know that I've seen pictures around here before, but I can't find anything right now. I just need a pic or two so that I can make the bucket and go. I'm hoping to finish all my under the tray work this weekend and then seal it all up next week.

pm cg racing i know they installed one on party boys boat last year...he might still have the mold for the bucket laying around..
 
I seen some drop in hand holds for sale somewhere they are basically the same bucket just the top curve is different to place on a flat surface. Doesn't one of the aftermarket guys sell dropins for the rear likt that. At least that would get you a picture

Look for pics of Stoyers boat. He's got one on the side/corner of the gunwhale that will give you an idea of what might look good.

Dont put that to low. what feels good in shop might not in the air. I would say put it on the corner of the gunwhale or anywhere along the top. Partyboys is to low and is very hard to find while jumping.

upper corner is the best place IMO.

Thanks. That's what I needed. Approximately how long and wide is the opening/bucket? Is it best to have any overhang along the rear edge where you will grab?

I suck at paint but this is an example of the upward angle to put it at. If you put it straight in, you will slip out. You need to be able to be able to "hook" your hand into it so you dont slip out.

i'd put mine on the top rear of the gunwall

first cheesy pic is where i'd put mine
second shows what happens when you dont have a hold and your hand slips off the gun wall, let go of the handlepole, if not ski will go upside down and your pole get overtravelled when it hits the water
