New A-Frame by Marine Fabrications in Birmingham

mctaggart · 11 April 2013, 19:12

Just thought i would post up pics of my new custom made A-Frame which Marine Fabrications made up for me on the day. Cant fault the customer service, i had to drive up from Swansea arriving at 8am and it was made and fitted on the day by 4pm, brilliant!! I was quoted £450 but after a couple of alterations at my request it came in at £500.

Well happy with it nice polished 2 inch tubes, great for the wake boarding/skiing i plan to do and i can hook up all my GPS and VHF antenna to it.

Well happy!

Rib is getting a bit of a make over before it goes back out this summer, so busy doing lots of work to it at the moment

Here are some pics

Had some custom mounts made for the GPS to sit on the right, and the flat plate on the left is where my Antenna will be mounted, also plenty of room to mount my skis when not being used and I am sure i can mount my auxiliary engine somewhere too in case of emergency!

Thanks to Nick who lent me the design of the A-Frame to give them, was a great help.

Very nice looking job there! Are you not having nav lights fitted tho?

Johnscubanut · 11 April 2013, 20:24

This is the one I got

Works well for my SR4

The cheapest i can find that one is about £200 with the cushion and deck fixings.

Can anyone get me it any cheaper?

Nick Hearne · 13 April 2013, 17:19

I would probably not bother with the cushion as I have had it repair the tabs that attach by poppers to the top!
It is not as good quality as the ones I have seen on Boston Walers!
As to the tie down kit don't ask but I have 3 in the garage un used if you want one on the cheep just let me know
