Do you cruise at speed ok with it on the gunnel? Do you pull it when you fish? Have you got a good place to stow it? I always had challenges on my 23 footer with my bbq. I’m currently looking for a bigger boat. Just curious.
I'd be confident in running it on. The table is much heavier and it doesn't move at all in the burnwin. I offset it so I can still access the rods, and the burnwin mount shoots it out 6" so the clearance at the door is maintained. I had the a lot of trouble with the bbq on the 24 bayliner as well. Couldn't stand moving it around. Once I experienced the full-time mounted q on the commander, I was dreading going back to it.
Where are you gonna mount the deep fryer?!
On top of the seakeeper
That should keep the seakeeper lubed up
I really doubt anything coming out of Canada could compete. Not that Burnwin stuff is cheap, but they can't be making much off this stuff. The machining has to be crazy expensive
All depends on what tools you are using to do the job, Peetz for example had or has a machine that can work on about a dozen reels at once. CNC machine centres that work lights out can produce a lot between 4pm-8am while everyone has gone home.
Looks great . Where did you get the canvas done .
Looks good!
I worked with someone that @Bifmalibu tipped me off about earlier in this thread (thanks Bif!). Bonus, it was about 5 minutes drive from me. No, haven't been out on the water yet with either the top or the canvas. Top was completed just before Christmas, and then Christmas happened. And this month was the canvas - literally picked it up about an hour before I posted this. I'm hoping to get out later in Feb - need to do some rigging on the top - move the VHF antenna up there, 360 light - that kind of stuff. I expect I might feel a little bit more roll with more weight up high, but its aluminum so I don't think it'll make that much of a difference. Canvas might catch the wind a bit more - I guess we'll see!
Hi there, I have a Campion 542, just added second Lowrance unit so I don’t have to strain my eyes looking at split screen on 1st unit, last yr replaced seats that were original to boat and showing their age. I clean and wax every spring and wash down after every trip out. It’s a good boat for my wife and I to fish out of, 3 people is comfortable 4 is doable but crowded, thinking of upgrading to a bigger boat still looking to see what will work without being more then I need.
Keep us posted . Definitely a nice upgrade on the arima and something I might venture towards in the future . Unless I win the lotto and can afford a bigger boat lol
Very nice add, watch out winter springs!
That looks great! Glad it turned out well for you. I drove past your boat the other day, the aluminum top looks awesome.
Nice! What year is the campion?
