Rocket launchers

Post by FIVEPLAY »

I am going to be adding rocket launchers in the spring and I am interested if anyone has done this aftermarket. Whitewater Marine, the dealer that I purchased the boat from, recommends the rocket lauchers that come with the Parker.

Click on the url below for a previous discussion on rocket launchers -
I bought the clamp on Taco units from River Marine Supply. Really nice.

Fiveplay, do you have the radar arch or mast. I have a mast as well as a bimini that zips to the back edge of the hard top. I don't know if I can find a launcher that will work with that setup, but I'm interested to hear what you find.

If you have the extended roof you will not be able to use the clamp ons on the radar arch. You wont be able to rach them. Because of the curve and arch of the roof line I had a set custom made that bolt to the roof. When the shrink rap comes off I will take a picture and post.

I have the radar arch and was all set to go with the clamp ons but I believe that I have the extended top as well. I am going to have to check. Thanks for all of the input and in advance for the pictures.

Yup. That's next for me! Was going to the marina tommorow to measure the arch. Thanks for the helpful sizing and posted links!

I had a rocket launcher fabricated from my 28. I felt that the radar arch was just too far of the deck.
