2" thick Starboard?
 

Does Starboard come in 2" thicknesses, and if so, how much is a piece 2"x15"x48"? I am planning to install a bow pulpit on my 250 Sportsman. I was going to use mahogany but that would've costed over $200. Depending on the price difference i might go ahead and use mahogany but i cant find any 2" thick Starboard anywhere. I'll be using a bottom mount Windline anchor roller http://windline.com/rollerthruplatform.html (AR-4, AR-5, or an AR-6), so i'll have to cut a slot in it for the shaft of the anchor.

Seaboard comes in 2" But thats way over kill! Mine is 1 1/2 as is Hammer and Airslot and that is pleanty!
Hmmer got a deal from a guy on ebay and he and Airslot split it, the guy will cut it to size for you also.

Ask Air or Hammer for the guys name.

Oh Hammer, where art thou? I am violating protocol....you know, posting while drinking....we got pulpits from NORVA plastics last year, 1.5" Starboard I believe, for about $65.

Unless you can find a deal on it like these guys, it won't be any cheaper than if you build it in teak or mahogany. Mine's made of teak, only about an inch thick. It hangs off the bow about 18-20" and I can hang my 225lbs a** on the end of it when I have it in an outside rack.

Now i'm thinking about using an over the edge mount anchor roller that pivots. Then i can shorten up my pulpit a lil bit. I might end up buying separate navigation lights though. Has anyone had any experience with the rollers that pivot? But nonetheless i'll end up using mahogany. It'll be prettier in the long run. :love:

Air and Hammer both have pivots and rollers

Thanks Mj. I'll IM both of them shortly.

This is the one that Hammer and I are using....wait, let me rephrase that. I use mine...Hammer just put his on the bow for a little "Bling Bling", cause I don't think he's anchored since he bolted it down:beer:
