rocket launchers
Submitted by Adonis on Fri, 2010-07-16 12:33
Hey guys,
Just wondering if anyone knows where to get those self fit rocket launchers from? I know they don't look the best but i need to get the canopy retrimmed anyway so I was thinking of getting it incorporated into the rocket launcher, would probably look a lot better. I would get some made but i'll be getting a new boat next year.
Cheers!
Pete

my mate had some and they were only good for light spin rods, the heavier overheads etc would work it loose after a while. not sure if it was just the one he had but just make sure they are good ones

custom?
We got one made to fit around our bimini, was probably a bit more pricey than getting one off the shelf but damn it works / looks good.
If that sort of thing is in your budget let me know and I'll follow up the guy's name... he was out Malaga way I think.

gday guys, the place is
gday guys,
the place is West Coast Marine fabication. Brad is his name. His number is 92492749, and he is in Malaga. His work is fantastic, a much better end result than a BCF style bolt on job. I can send you some pictures of the targa bar/ rocket launcher set up he did for us.

we had/have
we had/have one from BCF which when it is loaded with much will start to fall apart. A few rods with reels and it is overloaded with weight.
Can you remeber what sort of price it cost you Ben? We are looking at a few different bimini / launcher options at the moment

Great guy.
The cheaper ones are okay but i like to rivet all joiners and i also normally slightly upgrade them with a few extra point of leverage. Also only suitable for light rods as per there owne recomendations.
