Bow Pulpit for O25 ?

[Ed Viladevall]

Hi All,Without getting into unplesant detail...I need a new bow pulpit for 1983 O25. Does anyone have any leads or sources ? I have talked to Rudy, and no warm fuzzy from him that he could build one. Have also talked to Tops in Quality and they have the fab drawing for the O23 but not the 25, which I could mark up to approximate the 25 design, but I really I would like an exact copy of the original. There are no marine boneyards here in North Texas so that is not an option. If someone has a line on a shop or boneyard that could help me, I would HIGHly appreciate it !!! Thanks !

If this helps . . .

My 78's bow pulpit was damaged during a tornado event here in Maryland. I took the damaged pulpit to Kato Marine in Annapolis to repair the original, unfortunately, it was too far gone, and they reconstructed a new replacement. The replacement was an identical copy of the original, I believe it cost around $ 900. They have a web site on the internet if you want to try them, otherwise, look for a local stainless steel fabrication shop, they might be able to help. Good luck.

Option

I don't know if you have checked with the local Vo-Tech or Welding schools in your area, if you haven't, start there. Many times you can get things made or repaired for pennies on the dollar. If you have your old bow pulpit, take it in and see what they can do.Good Luck.
