Zac, it shouldn't be a big deal to make something up, the radome isn't very heavy.

Mike, agreed but my yard manager says that the aluminum welding guys will charge me about $500 to 600 to weld a plate to mount the dome on. Then about $1000 for the closed array, $2500 for the garmin 7000 series chart plotter and another $200 to 300 to wire it in. By the time you get done you're into this for $4000 to $5000.
I can catch a lot of fish, and do, without spending another $5K |
No boat, back in the suds.

You can bolt a plate to your top for a lot less than a grand, and it will be just as secure. |

Radar should be used as a safety tool ( to return you to home port safe)
I see to many people who use radar as the reason they can leave port
in bad weather at full throttle
