Carolinadrifter Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 I have a 2003 18 master Angler that came from the factory without a polling platform. Has anyone had an aftermarket platform built? Also would the boat have backing plates where the platform would have mounted up. I’m trying to figure out if going with a custom platform will work or if I should try to find a used one off of a MA or older redfisher.

conocean Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 Consider getting a custom tower made exactly to your specs. Try contacting Outlaw on this forum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricane Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 I've seen many MA's and many different platforms on them. I'd say have one made the way you want it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRC Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Birdsall marine in W Palm Beach built mine. Very nice work IMO. I didn’t want anything thru bolted to the transom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolinadrifter Posted April 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 CRC what are the measurements on that platform? I want to have enough room to get the cowling off easily for maintenance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRC Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 They did mine custom. No problem w cowling. Either off w engine straight down or tilted all the way up. Engine trims fully. All compartments open fully etc. Platform is the right size for me at 6’1 220. I’m not a fan of metals under salt water so I was specific on what I needed.
