Outriggers

I'm seeking some advice. My fishing has changed over the past 3 years and I now need outriggers. Can anyone here recommend a medal fabricator around the Cape that may be able to install them for me? I have a hard T-top and will need some plates welded. I'm looking for a quality shop and not crazy, drunken Uncle Joe who only works when he's sober.

Thanks all.

No problem traveling RR. My boat is kept in Sandwich and I travel 495 home to Shrewsbury all the time. And I should or typed "metal" not medal! I'm such a twit! Ron have you used these shops before? Another concern for me is turn around time. I need the boat last weekend and I don't have a few weeks for it to sit on a trailer and wait. Shame on me for waiting so long.

Ron I'll take your word for it. Can you PM the names of these two places please? And will they overcharge me cause I'm a Pats fan?

Thanks RR.

Aluminum. I own a Parker with a hard top on my t-top. Parker boats advised to have support brackets or plates welded to the t-top to help support the outriggers weight.

Will give them a call Dave. Hopefully they are not too backed up. Thanks.

I've heard good things about Kentfab in Norwell. No first hand experience...

Your the second one to mention Kentfab. I sent them an email and should hear back Monday.
