I’m looking for a mizzen radar mount. I may end up building one out of stainless as they are about $250.00 for a new one.

Cheers.

However, I’ve seen some curious (and presumably cheap) alteratives, like sections (cut to fit, of course) of masts from smaller boats (lasers, or 19 footers, etc). Being aluminum, you can usually get a strong and light section of ‘tube’ for a mast. I think I’ve got a pic somewhere of one of these installations extruding up from the stern of a boat. If I can find it, I’ll send it. Cheers & Fair winds always. MJM

I’m just about to install my electromaxx Alternator, controller, and isolater. I found him because I wanted the best Alternator made leaving this time. I had to have my ballmar rebuilt a few times and I don’t want to go through that again.

Everything for boats that you can imagine. Surplus Unlimited in Daytona is another one of my favorite places to wander around wishing I could get everything. I posted this in the forum yesterday too. Some of my brewing videos may help you out too. YouTube channel blowinganddrifting

Get out there!!!
