Are you talking about the pole that holds up the table?

Pics would help.

If it is this pole, you might find that you can use a piece of metal fence post from Lowes or Home Depot (cut to size) and then wrap it in some salty looking hemp rope so it looks nice.

If you are referring to the ones over the icebox, I don't think they support the cabin, rather I believe they are handholds. Any SS fabricator should be able to make those up quickly. What happened to the originals?

If it's the one shown by @rgranger in post #3

it looks like 1" dia. SS rail tubing available by the foot at many marine stores.

Looks like Mr. Rgranger was preparing dinner at the time this shot was taken. I can see the WD-40 sauce in the background. No chef worth his salt would ever be caught without that one ingredient.

Not my boat. That is Mr Google's boat.

Surprisingly, that was a Yacht World ad photo. I cropped it because the remainder of the boat was just too embarrassing to show... and it wasn't even my boat.

It is a wonder that anyone would put up a boat for sale and take photos without cleaning it out first. Absolutely strange to me.

Here is the listing if you want to be trully horified.
No, no. Now I see what happened. First they took the outside pictures and then a garbage truck accidentally backed in the boat, spilling its entire load into the boat. Then they took the interior pictures.

Any better ideas ?

Some poor guys wife kicked him out, and moved all his stuff onto his boat! Now we know why the wife kicked him out…he is a slob :(

But I wonder if you get all that stuff for the selling price?

Maybe we should start a “WHAT WERE THEY THINKING” thread
and post bad ideas we see in boat ads…:facepalm:

You may have missed that the owner passed away. RIP

I’m confused. How did you arrive at this conclusion. The post is current looking for what sounds like a compression post.

It's a little thing called thread drift which very rarely occurs on this site but in this case did :poop: !

In post #1 @Stokeshc asked about some tubes which go from cabin top through galley island. Anybody's guess there.

No one could figure what any of it was was until @rgranger took a wild stab in post #3 and speculated it might be a cabinet support as he showed in post #3.

From there, it degenerated into a discussion of how badly a boat can be presented when selling. @rgranger presented the original sales presentation in post #9.

This added even further drift to the discussion and then @Rick D observed in the sales article that the owner had recently passed away (I'm assuming). The really sad thing here is that the owner may well have kept the boat in pristine condition but after his passing, the boat was poorly handled before ultimately being offered for sale. All of which has nothing to do with cabinet supports.

@jssailem, I'm afraid this was a little like walking into a live theatrical performance halfway through without a program for you but hopefully this clears matters up a little for you. And if you think can understand that, you would really enjoy a meeting of physicists here in Vancouver this week where they will try to formulate a theory of quantum gravity to reconcile Einstein's theory of general relativity and quantum mechanics.
