re: seeking ideas for a home made push pole for flatboat

This will be way heavier than you want to deal with and also will have quite a bit of flex to it. I did this on a 14' welded bateau and put a duckfoot on the end and just never used it because it was a PITA.

This. Bamboo is another option. You can go somewhere like microskiff and get other ideas.

But there's a reason why the commercial push pulls are expensive, there's just no good cheap way to make them.
