Helm Post/Half Leaning Post

[gran398]

SB, knew this place was in Pa., came across it today while looking for something else. Can't remember which thread we were talking about this on (getting old)

Anyhow here it is...these folks make quality stuff, been around forever:

Scott,
That is some nice looking stuff.  Just never could understand (and it's not just these guys) why a 130 lb. class fighting chair costs $4500...

[gran398]

I'm with you....'cause the owners looking for fighting chairs have the big-bucks, I reckon. Betcha their cost basis is 1K or less.

I like this design even more:

Those are nice,i was asking the guys at M surplus about half leaning posts today,didn't get any good answers.

CH,

Know you have a good handle on M Surplus's inventory. Am looking for a small leaning post/livewell combo for Miss Delmarva. Like Hammerhead's, but smaller, shorter, less capacity. All in one, small compact combo....called them today, but as you said...guess they're busy.

Any input per your experience/observation is much appreciated. Thanks.

They do have them,i was looking at them today for my dads boat,their carrying a bunch of semi custom looking stuff like that now,real pretty stuff.

For example i was looking at an aluminum one with cushion and rocket launchers for $349,then they had powder coated stuff also.

Thanks a bunch. Will call them a.m. before they get jammed, and seek some pics.

Sounds like your Dad and I are shopping the same product. My rebuilder has a client from down your way who just came up (Thanksgiving Day) to pick up his new ride. (Seamark)

Absolutely beautiful. Carolina powder-blue hull...beautiful FL. console (shipped up), beautiful Hammerhead-style livewell/post combo(shipped up)...but cleaner...unaware as of yet who made it, but will post the maker. Lower than Tommy's, more sculptured/tailored.

Will post info as received, appreciate yours of course as well. Thank you, S.

Pretty reasonable $ IMHO.

[gran398]

Looks good to me too. If had a nice dual console, rigged to fish....would get this first.

Think of it on our ol' 240 Seahunter.....nice, very nice.

Just reviewed their website, and product line...and, don't know these folks from Adam....but don't you think their prices seem well below their SoFla competition?

[John Jones]

Yep.  Marine Surplus was selling similar without the upholstery for $299 a few years ago.

[RickK]

I agree - seem very reasonable.

Anyone know how about their craftmanship and or what gauge material they use? I have had them on my short list for a leaning post. Shipping is cheap right now 19.99 ships it. I called them and they will ship a 38" wide by 33" high leaning post to houston for 19.99. Looks like my 222ccp will be wearing one soon.
