custom stainless/allow work

[simonpp82]

I'm looking to get some custom stainless or alloy demountable legs made up for a transom mounted baitboard/rocket launcher. I'm making the rocket launcher setup myself but not from metal. I live in coolangatta. Can anybody recomend a place or individual that will do it for a good price.

What are you making the launcher out of??

Ausfish member 'stainless' does very good stainless work, he lives in Bris.

Finga,
Im goin for the cheapo option and making myself one out of hardwood...
Now before you cringe, The idea was given to me by Roderick aka "Flickflack" who is a very credible fisherman, and has spent years in the commercial industry in south africa. He drew up a little diagram of a trolling board that he made and used himself on a commercial tuna boat for over ten years! It's gonna cost me peanuts and it'll do the job so im happy!

If Rod reckons it's going to work then it's going to work.
Timber would most probably be more forgiving and resilient then alloy or stainless.
Can't wait for the pictures

Greens Marine at Yatala.

I believe these guys do a lot of the Stainless work on the Cruise Craft (Outsiders & Explorers).
