tower on a 19'6"
« on: February 05, 2007, 03:06:46 PM »
I have a 1978 19'6" open fisherman that I have been aching to put a tower on just like the onne on Fishbonz http://www.classicaquasport.com/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/284/cat/501
 
Do you think the boat may be too small for this?

Anyone know anyone is South Florida that they can recommend to fabricate one of these towers?

I wonder what the cost range is for one of these towers?

Here's a 19-6 with a nice tower on it:

From what I have found, a good tower is going to run you close to $5k before rigging.

No problem, I work in Naples.

Hey, looking the picture of your boat I notice that  you have your trolling motor positioned out over the gunnel. How did you make that happen?

I have a Motorguide bow mount, but I need some way to get over the gunnel.

That is actually an anchor pulpit but I don't know why it would not work for a trolling motor.
