Leaning post from Cutting Edge Boat Tops

Anyone familiar with this company, quality of the work, etc?

Looking at one of their leaning posts in the $395.00 to $650.00 range to replace the two standard swivel pedestals on the 222 CCP.  If anyone has suggestions of other companies to consider - or +/- comments from someone who's made the change - that'd be good, too.  Thanks.

Thanks, Bob.  I actually saw the product listed on the Houston, TX craigslist - first thought was the company was Texas local.  Going to be in that area next week and wanted to bring one back - avoid shipping.  With the company based out of the Ft. Myers area - that's not happening.

i had a custom leaning post made by them. They charge me $395.00 for a custom leaning post (25H, 34 w) with a removable back. He promise when it would be done by and it was done and delivered to me at my house (Live about 30min away from is shop).  I have no complain about it.

FL Chris-
Workmanship looks very solid in your posted pics on the thread Bob referred me to.  Sounds like you're happy with the quality.  If you don't mind me asking a few questions...is it installed, have you had the boat out, what do you think?  You went with the 34" wide leaning post - is that the same width as your console?  Sure would like to see this in person before buying - but this'd be a mail order deal for me.

Any info is appreciated.  Thanks.

The leaning post should be the same width as your console.  You don't want it to intrude into the walkaround spaces, yet you also don't want to become better friends with you buddy than you might want...

Got that right!

It looks like a nice leaning post at a decent price. I'm going to save the web page for when I'm ready to buy one. One comment, I'd recommend the style that has storage under the seat. Had one like it on my old Whaler and it was darn useful.

Thanks for that input, NE.  More storage is usually good but wondered how useful that'd be - or how tough to build.
