So I looked at waketower flag poles and refused to spend 85 dollas..I need that extra cash to help make America Great Again.

So flag pole, piece o pvc, one stainless screw, 2 band straps, and a 8 dollar Amazon flag. Total in $20.

Be honest does my flag trigger you?

I'm Canadian... couldn't care less. The pvc and clamps though... that should be banned. ;)

I think your post borders on politics but the flag itself doesn’t trigger me.
I agree with @Luc Lafreniere though and think the mount could look a lot better.
I bought two of the mounts in the attached pic when they were $10 but they are still worth what they currently cost.
ita held in place on a bimini pole with a couple of zip ties.

I bought a stainless steal fishing rod holder with bar clamp from eBay for $30. Looks great, and I can hold poles. For a flag pole Walmart has wooded ones for $4, I just screwed two eye hooks into it and clamped them closed around the flag holes. Super easy to take the flags up/down and it looks clean.

If by triggering you mean I do a double take and wonder "What the he¡¡ is this person thinking, other than wishing to trigger people?" Then I can tick the triggered box. I worry greatly {because of my fears and experiences, but they include political banter, so I'll take them out of here}

I would have thought that being a member for 1 1/2 years you could see how we struggle to keep the forum from politics and intentionally asking someone if they're "triggered" by your flag is just the tit for tat that starts rants and ruins our place for boat talk.

There is a place called "yamahajetboaters.net", you can provoke, profane and spew whatever you want (as long as you don't organize a group buy without paying a "tribute" or criticize a tribal logo idea.

I am triggered by your flag holder. As someone aspiring to be red neck it looks more like something that would be on my white trash boat. I mean why did you buy a surf board, why didn't you just take the closet door of the hinges and use it ?? At least reposition those worm clamps so the extra isn't hanging out.

Flag doesn't trigger me. Kinda like the size honestly. **edit**.....Just saw the trump face over it. Never mind, you can keep it. Size is right, don't care for the politicization of the countries flag.

Political crap I'll just look past. Everyone has an opinion, and nobody is right......ever......myself included.

That holder though. Yikes man. I'm a mechanical engineer that leans into industrial design pretty heavily. It HAS to work first (this part you nailed), but it should look good doing it, and an elegant solution is always a better solution than the easiest/cheapest one. Here's a 2 pack of brackets for $12 that you could have screwed to the $4 Walmart Flag Pole listed above. You're under $20, and it doesn't look nearly as.....well....rigged.

YaI have two mounted on my tower. I believe it’s 2 inch. Link below, appears to be sold out but they have other option. Also came with some rubber to protect the paint. You can see it in my pic if zoom in. I’m not home at the moment to take a closer pic.

I would have thought you'd done so well in the Trump Economy you could have afforded to spend $85 on a real flag pole holder instead of putting that atrocity on your boat.

Not sure where you took that picture, but the water clarity is spectacular. The other "decorations" on the boat seem nice as well. When can I come visit?

Crab Island, Destin, Florida. It’s not a bad to place to call home, especially with a boat. Beaches are that color as well most of the summer if the surf isn’t rough.

I’d know that Crab Island water anywhere. Here it was July 2019

That's what I thought.

I've seriously got to get a bigger boat. That looks amazing!

@Milwmarc, Political posts are not allowed on our forum. I appreciate your simple flag pole solution. Please take the politics elsewhere.

Politics, could care less. No matter what your views or party no one is looking out for me and my family but me. I come to this forum to learn about my boat and boating from some really good people. I dont get easily offended, but I do enjoy spending time on this forum to get away from the non stop barrage from the media and all the non sense that goes with it. Let's just stick to boats and boating.
