Hey Folks:

I'm currently making grill stanchions for Yamaha and Chaparral boats, and want to offer them to Scarab owners as well. The larger Scarab's (25' and up) have the same mount as the Yamaha's and Chaparrals, but both of those are at different angles.

I've tried to get some information from the FB group, and thought I would reach out here too.

I need:

(1) the PN for the table leg(s) if there are more than one that came with your boat.
(2) The angle at which the mount is on the boat. You'll need a digital angle finder for this measurement (~ $40 from Lowes or Home Depot). Here's a link to an article I wrote to get this.
(3) The shortest distance from the center of the mount to the edge of the swim platform.
(4) The height of the mount above the swim platform.

Most of the owners boats are in storage right now, but if you're in a warmer climate - I'd love some help!

Thanks!

When I get my boat back later this month I can try to get you the info you need because I want a grill mount for the rear platform on my boat. Would your mount allow for the grill to hang over the side of the boat?

I think I have the info that I need for the 255. If you have a different model I'm all ears!

Hi - I have a 285 and would buy the stanchion if you get them made. Boat is in storage so cant get you the measurements.
