0 bigeyes Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 Hi Paul, I got mine out of my wife's trunk(shhhhhh, it is our secret!). It fits my boat really well. I think the nets out of gm vehicles are pretty standard and my boat is a 16 foot lund, if that helps. Are you still in WI? Going down to pool 4 Sunday, you welcome to come if you are around.

0 Paul Waldowski Posted March 14, 2003 Author Share Posted March 14, 2003 James, How did you mount it? Now just need to find a G.M. vehicle. Still in WI. Be home some time on Sun. Thanks for the offer, have to take a raincheck on pool 4. ------------------Paul[email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 marine_man Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 I'm pretty sure I saw netting in the Cablea's spring catalog... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 The Chemist Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 Check in the children's section of a Target or K-Mart. They have it there for attaching to a stroller to hold toys. The wife picked a few of these up a year or 2 ago. Don't know the exact cost but may be worth a shot. Oh you may also want to check Walmart, they tend to be cheaper on most things. Otherwise hit a junk yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 bigeyes Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 Paul, as far as mounting goes, use the round black cable holder that are made with the screw hole(they have them at most stores, in the electrical department(fleetfarm, hardware stores, maybe walmart). I think this is a better system then even the ones that the lund dealer uses they are smaller and look better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Johnny B Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 Paul,Since I did not want to pay the “Genmar” prices for this item, I took the advice from the previous thread regarding cargo nets and looked into various retailers:Auto & truck parts stores, Target, boating accessory shops and ATV accessory suppliers.Most places do have some form of netting that can be fashioned to fit boats. However, I found, the best fitting and reasonably priced nets available from Cabela’s. They also come with the necessary hardware. Marine Man is correct: spring catolog has them.

0 FishTracker Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 I picked one up at Walmart by the camping trailer section. It was about $15.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Mykal Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 Paul, Mills Fleet Farm just got some in for 23 bucks a net that includes the hardware. They are specifically designed for the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
