Thanx for the comments guys- I really like Jeffs, is that the standard/ original post?? Also curious about the width- guess I need to go check on my boat anyways (high-ass tide from Alex). Thinking 38" x 10 with lots of extra's. (mama gave me the ok [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]. Still going to look around some more- sec , i couldnt find quality marine fabricators- need to do a google search - thanx again guys, i'm gettin friggin sick of hurricanes, I know my friends in hatteras are- they took a butt whippin again [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]. (the season is still early too) [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] And btw- Chuck , got my and Gary's stickers today- thanx again!!!

It always seemed dumb to me with those backrests that take uo 2 of your rod holders. Where would you store it on the boat if you needed to use the rodholders for rods?

Nearly all makers use aluminum pipe and white vinyl but cleanliness of design varies widely. Hard to fault Birdsall.

The backrest is good when you have kids on board otherwise it's in the way and better left off the boat. Nice custom leaning post pics there.

Hey Rich.. looks like you got everything you need to build a boat in there [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] Thanks for posting the pictures

Thanx for the pictures Rich, very nice ! ( if I might ask a question, looks like a couple extra inches of diamond plate between the back of the cushion and the rod holders- any special purpose for that??? Just curious- Also was thinking about a back rest- Ive had 3 surgeries so I need some support later on in the afternoon sometimes where I could maybe hop up, lean back and run the boat- I know it is a leaning post but do any of y'all actually run your boats "sitting" on the cushion ??? Sorry for all the questions but hey, inquiring minds want to know!!! [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Most leaning posts if they have a flip top have a small tray. If you want a 8" tray you need to get a custom cushion made, $$$ so In trying to keep the prices down I use the standard cuchion with the 8" tray. The extra plate you see serve two functions.. 1 to make up the extra space that is not covered by the cushion. 2 adds some strenght to the cushion.. and a little blingbling factor too... you can sit on my leaning posts and run the boat with the back rest in. GW204 has the same post Rich does with the removable back rest. .and his wife sits there all the time...Brian.. pictures please....
