Hey just saw this. What I use is called a double braced cymbal boom stand. It is for hanging a cymbal from the outer areas of a drumset. I think I paid about $30 shipped off Ebay brand new. I made an adapter plate to tie hull in with the stand, typically using motor mount or motor mount bolt holes to secure it. Biggest thing to remember is to anchor the base when you have a boat hull on it as if you're not careful the stand will tip. In my Smokin' Joe's build up thread if you look closely you will see I have mine strapped to a full 5 gallon fuel jug. The neat thing is the boom can be loosened & rotated so you can shoot bottom & top with the majority of your spraying surfaces being flat when you do. This sure beats hanging them by the transom which is ok for primers since if you get a run or sag from paint's weight it's no big deal since you sand down the primer anyway. For laying down the colors & clears this set up is tough to beat. B)
Hey Josh-
You got that right Don. Bought a guitar stand that still had the tag on it from a local pawn shop here in Cinti for around 8.00 around Xmas time. I imagine they would be reasonable on stuff like the symbol stand as well. Great Idea!Check your local music stores & any pawn shops if there are any near you. Musical instruments & related gear are the second largest thing pawned next to jewelry.
That weight ain't gonna do squat other than give you something to grab to rotate the boom. Trust me you want your stand anchored. That "stripped down" boat on a fully extended boom will weigh two to three times more than the load that cymbal would place on the stand. B)
