Would anyone be interested in having starboard work done?

Hey I see this still active? Want to replace the ar area beneath the helm of the 226.

I don't see that Jason has replied to anything since '17? Last time he was seen on the page was Jan '20. Not sure who Fishtales is sending info to?

 

[Fishtales]

yea, hoping for a reply. Guess I need to look elsewhere...

 

[Ky Grady]

That's a shame, looks like he does good work.

 

[Fishtales]

I managed to contact via email. He does not have his shop up and running yet due to a recent move. He may in the future, so I told him to give me a ring if he does. If anyone else is looking for something, review the thread and locate his email. Maybe if there is enough potential business he'll be interested.

Hey everyone, I apologize for not getting back for quite some time. Had a few job changes, new house, etc etc. We are back at it with the starboard work. For right now my father will be handling most of it at his shop while I finish setting up my shop at home. We also do a lot of work with teak or any wood really for that matter. Teak trim or teak and holly floors etc. Working on getting some pictures, website, and the whole social media thing. Feel free to contact me with any interest you have and I will redirect it to him for the time being. You can message me here, text me directly, or email.

I'd like to have a bow casting platform made for a 2014 209 Fisherman - that something you could do? Don't need the cushions.

Wow.. I wonder if it would be a worthwhile option for my dashboard redesign, so I could fit twin 10" Garmin screens on it

Yes I would just need dimensions and material thickness.

We've done plenty of panels in black, seafoam, or plexi to flush mount electronics or rearrange a dashboard without doing glasswork.

Well, I will get some measurements and pictures and shoot you an email and see what we can work out

Bump....

I'll run one at you.

I have the GW companion seat (2-person curved seat versus a 2nd helm chair) on the starboard side of the boat. One of the complaints on the Marlin and possibly other models is the seat height is lower than the typical helm chair and is not adjustable. It makes looking out the windshield tough for some.

I was thinking of a 6" rectangular box that would fit between the fiberglass box (part of the liner) and the companion seat that is mounted to it. It would essentially raise the companion seat 6" and provide the capability to add (2) sliding drawers for storage. I'm thinking this could be offered for all GW boats with the companion seat, all that needs to change is the box size (get this off the companion seat base) as the seat is slightly fitted in size for each boat that leverages the companion seat. Done right for easy dimension change, I think there would be a lot of interest.

The box would have to be strong enough to support the seat and people that sit on it. I was thinking 6" height 3/8" starboard with interior corner blocking and center supports for the box and the same material for the bottom and top covers. One center support effectively bifurcates the box into two sections. One drawer in section one, would face the aisle in the helm area and slide in and out into the helm walkway like the (3) draw stack does under the helm chair. The second drawer in section two, would face aft into the cockpit and slide in and out over the livewell. You wound have to have the livewell lid closed to access the drawer, not a big deal. The drawers do not run the full length of the box, three additional 6" supports could be added between the center support and the side walls. These two supports would be staggered and tie the front and back of the box to the center support for maximum strength.

It would be good if it could be done with the same circular Southco latches on each drawer as well as the same face plate look as the stock seats to match well as you have done with your other work. I could draw up a quick sketch if this is something you would be interested. This raises the seat for better passenger visibility and provides (2) additional pull out drawers - about 2X the size of the three stack drawers.

For all reading this with companion seats; chime in and let us know if this would be of value to you.

Fish tales, seems like a great idea and do not see why it couldn't be done. Great way to add additional storage also. Wish I had a Marlin nearby to take a closer look at this. I would need some good pictures and accurate dimensions to move forward on this. Need to see where to make room for the box to mount and have the companion seat mount on top of it. I'm sure we could get creative and it would come out great. If you would like to move forward on this send me your contact info and I will get you in touch with my father.

Started building a custom rocket launcher pedestal mount out of teak for a 35 Cabo. Going to look great will post more pics

 

[jbrinch88]

My personal boat. 24 offshore. Custom splash board/wave gate with rocket launchers and rig/knife holder, swim ladder platform, and dash, doors and switch panel.

going through old pictures trying to keep them coming.

 

[jbrinch88]

Few more that I found,

new gauge panel, switch panel, acrylic electronics box cover for a 20’ Hydrasport.

battery switch panel for a 30’ bayliner

Another older shot of my 24 Grady with starboard bulkheads, louver doors, and trim/panels all out of starboard. Really freshens up these older gradys
