Hi Evan,
No worries; but yes, that is $120 per short rail (we have two) and $180 per longer rail (we have three). So it’s $780 for the complete set of 5 rails.

Are you still interested in the Mast Pulpits?

Best,

paul

Hi All,
So I haven’t quite finalized (hopefully hear from Dave on Monday), but wanted to recap the list of people I believe are interested in Mast Pulpits:

Paul Audi / Talisman
Evan / Revery – (and rails??)
Roger / Discoverie
Ben Frothingham / Papaya (#81)
Randy / Varuna
Ewan O’Leary
Dennis Home / Flying Mare (#22 1978)
David / Blue Moon
Gary Moates / J B Moates

If your name is above, please provide me with your last name (if I don’t have it), I’ll include your name on my list for Dave. Looks like we’ve got 9 people ordering. that should be a plus for Dave/Railmakers.

IF your name is above and you DON’T want to be in on the order, just let me know and I’ll pull your name off the list.

To reiterate, Dave wants to make one set first (to be sure they fit). In fact, he might already be making them, to test on my boat (that may be the delay in our conversation). Once he’s sure they are right, he’ll make/distribute the rest. Once we have final design, each of you would call Railmakers (or write) and pay individually.

More to follow.
Best,
Paul

Hi All,
I’m getting more news from Dave at Railmakers and here’s what I’ve got so far:

Using the T316 and adding the step, the cost he’s quoting is $875 (prices have gone up since the last round 9 years ago). If we get enough commitments, that number might come down a little, but for now, I’d say that’s his price. You will also have to pay tax/shipping. I’ve started a list of those who indicated they were interested, as I’d like to give Dave some idea of how many orders he might receive. If you’ve already told me your interested, no need to respond again (unless you’re NOT interested any longer). Others can chime in too. Again, I’ll give the names/list to Dave, but once everything is final, EACH INDIVIDUAL will need to call/email Dave to pay and give shipping information.

It might take a few weeks to do, even once I pull the trigger. Dave has suggested he make mine first and send them to me, to be sure they fit properly. Then he’d move on to the other orders.

I’m also considering having Dave make some T316 stainless hand rails to replace our teak ones. He quoted them at $120 for the short ones (42″-ish) and $180 for the longer ones (67″-ish). If anyone else is interested in those, I can let Dave know there would be additional orders for the hand rails too.

Still not a final deal, but here is the update. Should be pretty close to final.

I forwarded them the design from tor’s email and Dave (at Railmakers) says he found the bending frame, so I think they are good.

[pma_foyl]

I’ll know more shortly. 

Evan, the hand rail quote is for 304 stainless with a single center anchor point (and of course 2 end anchor points). Dave quoted me $120 for the 42″ rails (we have 2 of those) and $180 for the 67″ rails (we have 3 of those). I might be able to negotiate a little if we both get them.

Please stand by.

Best,

Paul

Hi Ben,

Per my notes in the last couple days, i’m currently talking to Dave. But if you wanna take over, feel free. Not sure if it’s a good idea for both of us to be doing it. 

Dave already quoted me $875 per pair of Mast Pulpits. This is a substantial increase from previous rounds (from 2008/2008). I’d sent a note back to him to see if he might be able to improve the price. I was waiting until I hear back from him, before reaching out the P424 List.

 

Best,

paul

Hi Rick,

I’m getting a quote now from Railmakers, but wanted to inquire about your final price. With the 316 upgrade, bails and the optional step bar, what was your final price? I realize this was 2008 and the new prices is likely to be higher, but I’d love to get a base line before I try to negotiate with Railmakers.

Thanks,

paul

Hi All,

I sent a note to my contact at Railmakers yesterday. I included the diagram from Tor’s 2008 email (does anyone know if Railmakers created that?). I asked if they still had their template from Tor’s order and requested an up-to-date quote (as it could very likely be more now). 

I’ll get back with the group, once I hear back. My intentions will be to order the version with the bales and with the “step bar:”

Please stand by.

Best,

Paul Audi

Thanks Pat and Evan,

I appreciate you digging this up. Don’t know why I couldn’t find it myself. And yes, I’d be happy to investigate further. In fact, I’m already working with RailMakers on some other stainless work. I’m having handrails made to replace my aging (and troublesome) teak ones.

When I speak to them next, I’ll ask if they still have the templates on file and what a current price would be. From there, I’ll check back with the list and see who might be interested. Much the way Tor did the last round, I’m happy to do the research, get back with the group, collect and turn in orders/names to RailMakers. And from there, I’ll let the individuals finalize / pay for their own orders, so that (as Tor said) RailMakers get to play the “banker”.

Please stand by.

Best,

Paul

Hi Dave,

Got it, so you reused the electronics/fixtures and just replaced the incandescent bulb with LED equivalents. 

Can you please tell me which bulb (model number) you got from marinebeam.com? I love how yours came out and want to duplicate.

Thanks,

paul

 

[pma_foyl]

I would love to know how you did this. I dig them but would enjoy a refresh.

Thanks

Thanks Ken,
The link you sent is a very similar one; worth looking into. I’ve seen some other I like too.

I’ll look at my deck drawings, but I don’t think the details are on my plans. If it’s not a huge pain, I would very much appreciate the dimensions of your anchor platform.

Seems like everyone who has one, are benefiting from a factory option (not a post-purchase add-on). I’ve got a couple good fabricators here. maybe I’ll just spec out my dream platform. I’ve actually seen some others that seem very practical.

Thanks to all. I appreciate the input.
Best,

Paul
