New Crows Nest being built

[warthog5]

Is the person on here that is having a fold over Crows nest built by Blue Coral Towers in Pensacola?

They have a template of the roof laid out on the bench. Looks to be for a 2520 or 2320. It actually has a raised area in the top, which I've never seen before.

I didn't have my camera with me to post a pix.

Doug told me the boat was in NC.

WH...yes it's for my boat..2320 SL. Pilothouse. You might remember I had asked around on the site and you sent me pics and recommendation for Blue Coral Towers. I have been dealing with Rowland. Seems like a nice guy and thorough. Contacted Parker so that he could lay out a template.

 

[warthog5]

Yes.... Roland is the owner of the company.

He has several guys that work for him and all are qualified. Doug is the person actually building it and a buddy of mine. He is VERY precise and attention to detail orientated. he is also very innovated.

Doug will be building mine after the 1st of the year.

Thanks a lot. Good to know that your friend is the guy doing the work. They have been very good to deal with.

The part that got me was the raised area on the drawing........Can you post a pix of the roof on the boat?

Wart - the new Parker's have a raised wire chase built into the top of the pilot house. The "roof" is not flat like the older vintage boats.

Here you go, straight from the for sale section. Kind of screws up standing area...

 

[warthog5]

It added a lot of strength and some styling, but as you said.......Screwed up standing on it. I'm sure there was no thought that went into that.

Here are pix's of it. I wish I had my camera earlier when it was on the work table and the fullsize drawing was there.

Pretty cool.
Will there be controls up there, or is it just for sight fishing?

 

[warthog5]

That one will not have controls.....That would be about usless for my needs and the reason for really having one.

We sight fish for Cobia. Things happen quickly and you have to position the boat correctly and yet not run over the fish.

That would be impossible to convey to the lower station and have it done correctly.

Just the change in engine tone can spook a fish.
