Bow pulpit

Looking for a bow pulpit for a 1988 Souwester 25'

Following..... I’d like to get one as well. But I’m leaning towards building one out of aluminum and bolting to the bow/deck

Easy to build your own. You can make it as long or as short as you desire

What is the solid you used for the core ? I couldn’t open the very first picture, I figure that is probably the clue that would solve the case

I thought about building my own, just thought if someone had one lying around it would be simple installation. GoodChance's came out very nice!

The main body is 2 layers of 3/4" fir plywood. Then I also used an additional 3/4" layer of fir on the outside and inside of the chine (as seen in the pictures. Of course, the entire wood pulpit is wrapped in 2 layers of 1208 and an epoxy resin. Painted with Interlux Brightsides single-part paint with non-skid added to the top portions.
