Default Drop in Bolster

Was thinking of adding the drop in third bolster, is the bracket that bolts to the side panel and seat a standard item ? I remember there being a CNC Billet one on the Miami boat last year.

It's planned from the beginning, not just something added anytime. The port side combing panel as is; is not designed to support the third bolster. Pat adds additional glassed in support all the way to hull of the boat; almost a semi-bulkhead behind the combing panel.

We've had them made of starboard and billet, all depending on customer specs.

If I was to remove the port side panel and basically build a support that the bracket would mount to that would work ?

Yes, it can be done. I've had several folks ask about adding it to their boat. You have the right idea.

I'll find out who made the billet brackets for Tangerine.

Sounds good, would be a good ad on for when we are running in the poker runs for when we have 6 people.

It is a nice option. We use ours in every poker run for the added comfort and safety of that guy bouncing around over there in the door way.

I'll try to get you a couple this weekend. We use the 3rd bolster alot. It's nice when you have 3 or 6 people in the boat.
