Hi Everyone

I bought my 309 at the end of last summer, Hull #1!, and we're just getting to know it. The admiral really wants a cockpit table, and I'm wondering what other 309 owners have done. When I had a C270, we got a nice table from Zarcor that had flip out leaves with fiddles, and clamped to the pedestal pipes. The 309 pedestal doesn't have any obvious way to hook up a table, but I'm betting there is a solution out there somewhere. Any ideas?

Thanks Betsy

I've seen the Edson tables, and "not cheap" is an understatement! I have since talked to Zarcor and they are no help, since they buy their tables from another supplier, and custom stuff is more than they want to do. I have located a local guy whose company makes custom boat stuff out of the poly material (star-board?) and he said if I give him a drawing, he can make it. Don't know pricing yet however, and I still need a method of mounting it to the pedestal.

The search continues!

Hi Ron- Edsonmarine has the tables in teak and poly. Not cheap though. My boat came with teak from original owner. http://www.edsonmarine.com/marinestore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=85_97_173_184&products_id=805 Betsy

Thanks again

Once I know what the table will cost, these mounting kits might be the ticket. It's hard to imagine that none of the other 309 owners out there haven't added a cockpit table?

http://www.edsonmarine.com/marinestore/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=85_97_219_281 Yeah my jaw dropped when I saw the price of teak table. The original owner bought nearly every option at the time from the Annapolis Catalina dealer. May be he got a boat show special?! Check out the link to the mounting kits. You may be able to buy one of these and get the table fabricated. Also rediculously priced.

I guess they bit the bullet and bought the Edson table. I was searching the forum tonight and I didn't see much except someone else looking like you.

you can get better prices by using defender or maybe even SBO store (not sure they sell edson parts or not )
