Sight platform

You best bet is to try to find a used one. Search craigslist or some of the fishing message boards. The classifieds on 2coolfishing.com are pretty good. You can have one built but it's gonna cost you several hundred bucks depending on what you want. If you can weld or know someone who welds aluminum, you can buy the material & have them weld it for you. You need to use anodized aluminum tubing. Standard size is 1 1/4". I had mine made out of 1 1/2" but I'm a pretty big ole boy. I used 3/4" starboard for the tops. That was serious overkill & I could have got away with 3/8" or 1/2" at the most. I had mine powdercoated black & added seadek pads to the lids. Needless to say my platforms are built like a brick shithouse!!!

These pics are before I added the seadek pads on the lids:

How did y'all do? I know the 2 that finished 2nd.

Damn, I don't realize they were that close to winning the boat.

Really like the setup you have. If my boat didn't come with a poling platform I would have definitely opted for the tall casting platform in the back. I'm contemplating putting a casting platform on the front of my boat, but I don't want to cut off access to storage.

Depending on your set-up you can still have access to the storage. I have two different platforms and neither cuts off access to the bow storage compartment. If you typically fish in clear shallow water a platform is a must have item, you have no idea what you are missing without it.

Like stated above, you don't know what you're missing if you're strictly fishing reds.
