CASTING PLATFORM
A flat platform on a set of legs that can be permanent or removable mounted on the front (bow/fore) of a boat and used for spotting or reeling in fish and casting. This platform can either be raised or made to cover an opening in the front of the boat to raise the fisherman up to the level of the gunnels. This boating accessory creates a hard surface to stand on made from either starboard or fiberglass. It often has a vertical bar rising up from the platform in the shape of a “T” or other means to hold onto or lean on that can be made with or without a cushion. It can be customized with a rail, rod holders, cupholders, or even simple motor controls.

COBIA TOWER
An aluminum structure with 4 legs attached to the floor of the vessel with a platform just over the center console. A ladder is usually incorporated into the sides for climbing up into it. A Cobia Tower will have a platform made of starboard or fiberglass for you to stand on. A Control Station can be easily added to a Cobia Tower for maneuverability while sight fishing. Several options can be added to your Cobia Tower including a folding control box, seating/cushions, rod holders, or even a bimini/buggy top for shade.

CONTROL STATION
An extra set of steering, throttle, GPS, or radar systems that can be added in any configuration to any platform or tower on your vessel. Generally, a control station is added to a tower, platform, or Crows nest to allow you to control your vessel with an increased line of sight while fishing. A Control Station is usually housed in a fiberglass box that is mounted onto the structure with a control panel. A Control Station can be put on stationary and folding towers.

CROWS NEST
An aluminum structure with 4 legs and an aluminum frame surrounded by a railing that is mounted on top of a T-top or Half Tower with a hard surface to stand on; the aluminum rail on the top often has a “Belly Band” or cushion to lean against, but more elaborate models can include a full seat and Bimini top for shade. Crows Nests are used for spotting fish and have many options available to satisfy any imaginable configuration. Often, in order to tow a vessel on a trailer, the Crows nest will be made to fold down during transport with special fittings on its base. Crows Nests can be made for entry from a ladder up the side of a T-Top or Half Tower or with a ladder built under the T-top or Half Tower with a zippered hole to access the Crows Nest from below, but through the top; in such cases, a flat platform is often incorporated into the T-top or Half Tower. The Crows Nest can have a hinged entry point or simply allow enough space to crawl under the upper rail. Crows Nests can be retro fitted onto existing T-Tops or Half Towers and can include countless iterations of control/radar/GPS stations, rod holders, cup holders, speakers, or shade.

HALF TOWER
An aluminum structure with 4 legs and an aluminum frame that attaches to the gunwales of a vessel without a center console. Half Towers are placed on vessels with a cuddy cabin or larger vessels with a flybridge. Half Towers, in addition to having either a canvas top, a flat fiberglass top or a molded fiberglass top, can include rod holders, cup holders, speakers, lighting, antennas, electronics boxes, or shade. In addition, you can add a Crows Nest, second level tower, or simply add a ladder if you want to stand up on the top for better sight fishing.

LEANING POST
An aluminum seat or post that is used to lean against or sit on while on a vessel. Leaning Posts can be as simple as a post in the shape of a “T” with a cushion on it to as complicated as a seat with stationary/folding single/dual footrests, hidden compartments under the seat or the sides of the seat for storage, removable back cushion, rod holders, cup holders, speakers, live well, or even a tackle box incorporated into the design. Most often, the base is made from aluminum and open for cooler storage, but there are also fiberglass base units available that have extra storage for boat gear, fishing gear, or even live bait.

MULTIPLE LEVEL TOWER
Multiple level towers which are sometimes called Marlin or Tuna Towers can be described as taller Crows Nest or Cobia Tower and often have a control station and are customized to the specific boat out of aluminum. These towers have ladders incorporated into them and often house electronics like radar, GPS, and antennas in the design. Multiple Level Towers are used for spotting fish and have many options available to satisfy any imaginable configuration. These towers can be made to be collapsible but are often on vessels so large that towing is difficult and therefore, most of these types of towers do not fold. These towers can be configured in any way that you can imagine and often get rather complicated in their design. As with any other structure we build, accessories can include control/radar/GPS stations, rod holders, cup holders, speakers, seats/cushion, or a Bimini/buggy shade.

POLING PLATFORM
A flat platform on a set of legs that is almost always permanent and mounted over an engine on the rear (stern/aft) of a boat and used for spotting and reeling in fish and casting. This platform must be raised above the engines when fully trimmed and creates a hard surface to stand on and often has a vertical bar rising up from the platform in the shape of a “T” or other means to hold onto or lean on that can be made with or without a cushion. It can be customized with a rail, rod holders, cupholders, lights, speakers, or even a ski tow.

RADAR ARCH
These aluminum structures are generally mounted across the vessel, midship from left/port to right/starboard and rise approximately 7’ above the vessel floor/deck and are connected to the gunnels/sides of the vessel. A Radar Arch is specifically used to mount radar and other electronic equipment but can also be used for pulling skiers/wakeboarders/tubers and holding skis/wakeboards when not in use. This arch can also have rod holders, outriggers, wakeboard/ski forks or even fittings to connect permanent or removable shading devices which can be mounted beneath or extend to the front or back.

SKI/TUBING/WAKEBOARD TOW ARCH
These aluminum structures are generally mounted across the vessel, midship from left/port to right/starboard rise approximately 7’ above the vessel floor/deck and are connected to the gunnels/sides of the vessel. A Ski/Wakeboard/Tubing Tow Arch is specifically used to tow people behind your vessel but can also be used for mounting radar or other electronics, and holding skis/wakeboards when not in use. This arch can also have rod holders, outriggers, wakeboard/ski forks or even fittings to connect permanent or removable shading devices which can be mounted beneath or extend to the front or back.

SKI/TUBING/WAKEBOARD TOW
These aluminum structures are mounted on the rear/aft of the boat and almost always over the motor to allow for a clean line to the person enjoying any water sport which involves being tow behind a vessel. Ski/Tubing/Wakeboard tows can be designed to include rod holders, cupholders, or even speakers.

T-TOP
An aluminum structure with 4 legs and an aluminum frame that attaches to the floor of the vessel and often attaches to the center console. T-Tops are placed on center console vessels and can have a canvas top, a flat fiberglass top, or a molded fiberglass top. T-Tops can include rod holders, cup holders, speakers, lighting, antennas, electronics boxes, or shade. In addition, you can add a Crows Nest, a second level tower, or simply add a ladder if you want to stand up on the top for better sight fishing.
