I had a custom aluminum pulpit built from a local welding shop for my 1994 Steiger Craft. (sold it for my present Parker) I designed it exactly like the Parker Factory one, however it's 100 times stronger. It only cost me $450.00 and the term heavy duty is an understatement. It was made out of 3/16" diamond plate and really looked awesome. Regarding your situation, I can't think of too many negatives. Docking is a possible issue but that's about it. The pulpit will keep your anchor off the bow and you'll avoid those costly dings, especially when someone other then yourself is pulling on the rode. Plus it makes the boat look a little larger and fully rigged. I don't think I would use it for mooring though unless you have the alum. one built, since the strain in really heavy weather may become an issue. Any thing I can assit you on let me know. I have access to that particular welding shop, that also made me an alum. swim platform. |
