That looks great and appears to be very high quality. I especially like the rod holders and the length is perfect to give shade and still allow fishing. Just curious, what is that thing setting on the engine box?

Very nice work with the sunshade. Nicely done with the cut away for stepping up onto the forward deck top. I've seen the best work come out of FL for sunshade engineering. Lots of experience down in the sunshine state!

Outriggers, center rigger bracket .. you're set. Post up some fishing successes!

Nice post .. thanks for sharing.

Impressive. This design would work on a 31 or 35 as well. Nice job.

:shock: That "THING" sitting on the engine box is a bird spider -- keeps those nasty dock pigeons, gulls, cranes, etc. from roosting :)

After putting the boarding ladder (whaddya think of that?) the herons and their pals on facebook sit on the dive platform then walk up the ladder into the boat to cozy on my engine cover!!!!

You can find one of these spiders here: http://www.birdbgone.com/products/bird- ... r-360.html

Thanks for the looks and smiles!@!
