No one that I know of around here builds one. They are a pricey item.

Theses are the ones I built. Plywood ....Glass/ Epoxy resign encapsulated.

That pedestal has a coil-over shock in it to cushion the ride.

Mounting.

Very nice could you make one with an aft facing seat ? Also do you just make them for yourself of sell them?
Thank you

I can build whatever you want.

Just need a sketch with some dimensions on it.

Could you give me a guistimate quote once I got you the sketch and basic idea?

Im tempered to try myself but I'm pretty sure id butcher it.

There is a company is Jacksonville Fl. that makes them for tboat builders. They are popped from molds and are solid glass/ resin construction with gel coat finish. This is the strongest and best construction method. Anything with a core can rot.

Your other option is to go with the plastic molded ones available by special order at West Marine, Donovans, Defender, Jamestown, and other online sources.

Besides X-Shark who does quality work, I make them, but use nidacore instead of plywood. They are lighter with no loss of structural integrity or potential rot issues. X-Shark can also make them with nidacore.

Additionally, I can make a mold and construct one from glass/resin, but the cost to do so for a one-off item is petty cost prohibitive.

I can also make custom ice boxes.

Mike at Flat Island is getting back into fabrication again and he is popping molds exclusively.

X-Shark gonna be your best price more than likely.
