| 61 | parker25lc | Pulpit choice ... | 11/9/2003 17:42:00 | |
FYI: My Parker 2520, the "Lady Catherine", got beat up by a 32' cabin cruiser that broke her mooring during a wind storm footer at the end of Ocotber ... 2 days before I was to pull her for the season. This was the boat I spent all last winter refurbishing with custom teakwork and galley. As part of the insurance settlement, I have the choice of the old- style bow rail (without a pulpit), like I had, or the new-style one with a pulpit. I could either buy the factory pulpit, but would most likely make one out of 2" teak, which thankfully I have the machinery for. What are your PROs and CONs against a pulpit? Dock space for me isn't an issue as I'm on a mooring, very rarely at a dock, and have off-season storage in a private yard, so no one will care if the overall length is a touch longer. Seeking ALL inputs, thank you! P.S. - I used to post on the the old Parker forums as "Reel-Rascals" or "DaleH" |
