Who makes a good casting platform? (PICS added)

jerolina · June 29, 2009, 6:37pm

I want a casting platform for my flats boat and don’t want to order one from FL or Cali. I’d prefer to keep my funds local. any suggestions?

I can build one for you.
Check under the topic “bow seat/stool”. There are some photos of one I did for quarterpound. If you send me your email address, I’ve got a couple of pics of another one I built.

I’d be “happy” to help you out.

whatever you do, put some seadeck or something on top. I really like the ProTrim ones. Look at those and make the same shape. The have a comfy top too.

superior work from happy Bob

Thanks for the help guys. Here is the finished product from Happy Bob. He made it to fit the forward hatch so it could be raised and lowered to access the charger compartment without taking it off. He also had it poweder coated to match the poling platform. Very nicely done and the service was EXCELLENT!
thanks Bob!
