Cockpit Table Without Breaking the Bank?

[SteveMontgomery]

I'm looking to source a well made cockpit table for my 1986 Hunter 285. Used? Advice on new designs and material? Wood vs plastic? Thanks. Steve

The Zarcor table is always a popular choice, and is exceptionally durable.

Have you looked in the website parts store? They sell folding tables with leaves that provide the kind of clearance you want in a small cockpit. With teak you should be taking it home each winter for maintenance.

Not too hard to make one. I made one from some trex boards from Lowes. A little heavy and would rather have used plastic lumber 3/4 thick if I could find it. Then some hardware like screws and clamps to mount it. Probably less than a hundred to make one.

I cut this out of scrap plywood years ago, just to see if it would work. If it did, I planned to build one out of some better material.

That was 5 or 6 years ago,...

I never finished it or anything and it works slick. Just two separate pieces; plywood cut outs slide over binnacle guard - leg fits inside a cleat on the bottom.

Takes up almost no space in a locker and assembles faster than you can describe it. We throw a table cloth over it these days(it's had so much use it's pretty stained). Never collapsed.

Probably sell it with the boat one day. Wanna see my swim ladder?

I read an article about a guy that picked up an old coffee table at the dump and used that rock maple for the table and swing-out support. Turned our really nice.

Found a new teak one with drink holders on ebay for cheap. It was 4 years ago so I'm sorry I don't remember more but a search there should turn them up.

Eude from Defender.
Not near the price of Edson. Not solid teak. I bought the Nordic Star 4 years ago. It is gorgeous.
Sorry, I don't have a picture.

I bought this one from Ebay in 2008 for $30. Here is a current ebay ad

If you insert the spacers it raises the table to a nice comfortable height and reduces the footprint.
