2003 Grady White 232 Gulfstream Pulpit

[Riokewl]

My 2003 Gulfstream did not come with a factory pulpit and I would like to add one with a windlass. Can anyone guide on the right direction of where to look for new pulpit for my boat? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried Grady White. I can get a pulpit for my 2006 228 from there.
I was quoted the below in USD.

07-165 BOW PULPIT (04-230) 226/228 @ $1206.75ea 10-MISC U-rail @ $225.00ea

Got mine for my 208 from a Grady dealer.

Im shocked at that price and expected it to be much higher!

I was also surprised. I would have thought about 3-4k with the new railing.
Don't forget the cost of the windlass, replacement or reconfiguration of the anchor locker, wiring and electrical components.

You could look into an bow anchor roller instead of a pulpit. If that can be installed, it will save a lot of money and they work perfectly fine. You still need to modify the locker lid and do the windlass install and wiring.

I much prefer the bow roller I put on my tournament, to the pulpit which came on my Seafarer.
(OK, the rusty anchor is gone, and the tennis balls have saved the side of my head and face more than once, when working around the front of the trailer.)

Butler Marine has done well for me in the past , pulpit kit for my old offshore 24 and a full slot roller conversion for my Sailfish when doing a windlass project last winter. Super helpful and prompt service.

Can i do this to my 2003 225 Tournament? Grady says they dont offer bow roller or pulpit option. They said The bow surface of your deck has 1/2” marine plywood laminated coring for support. Is this strong enough for a roller and windless?
