Any Pics of Rocket Launchers on TE's

[zinbaad]

I am looking to pop on a set of rocket launchers on Mahalo anyone have any pics to post up? Love to see them before I go & have them done. Also if anyone has pole storage setup I would be interested.

Are you having them welded on or mechanically fastened? The reason I ask is that on my 28TE Albin, most likely for cost reasons, built the radar arch out of tube, not pipe. All other marine hardware like T-tops and Tuna Towers are built out of pipe. All the mechanically fastened rocket launchers that I could find were made to fit pipe.

When I realized that I couldn't reach the launchers without standing on a bucket I had three each installed on each side of the arch so that by using the step onto the deck it is very easy to insert the rods. The other reason for being on each side was to clear the rotating radar antenna. They are welded to the arch.
For rod storage I mounted DuBro rod holders onto Starboard strips which are mounted to the pilot house overhead. I carry twenty-four rods with this setup.
If you can hold out until Essex you can take all the pictures and sketches you like - I have also done a lot of other unique additions/changes that may interest you.

I think I am going to run 7-8 rod holders along the lip of top bolting to roof separate from arch. I do think center holders with rods in will will look more balanced but will interfer with Radar which I use Radar infrequently anyway.
Need a few pics any one 28 or 31 te's

I took some pics today, and then realized that the cord to the camera is in my office at work. I will try to do something with them on Monday. I may have to e-mail them to John so he can post them!

these are the custom ones i had installed. they are bolted to the roof and follow the roof line. they are bomb proof. i can do pull ups on them and reach the middle ones without being an issue to your head. Fastek on the cape built them. My local yard installed them.

I like how they follow the roof line.. Hey being able to do some pushups is a plus also.. thanks
