Sotally Tober's Stripper Pole

[Sotally Tober]

@Sotally Tober , is the orange part all the way through the swim deck or does it rest on the surface below the top of the swim deck but before the area where the ladder is stored?

I’m curious but not going to ask what your boat will cost as modified, whatever it is, i cannot afford it.

[HASH=568]#5,[/HASH] Yamaha should be rolling the red carpet out for you.

They are cutting a hole on top of the swim deck (purple area) and then placing the wood (orange area) at the very bottom inner part of the swim deck. Additionally, they are going to fiber glass the bottom in for added support.

It was $2,000-$3000 for the pole. Any yes everything else is was pricey...

You should add a water pump through the pole and a shower head on top, that would make it fun!!!

This guy is an evil genius

Awe, you say the nicest things! Let's just say I have spent my fair share in a particular type of club. A buddy and me actually talked about opening said type of club. It would be in an old fire house with a firehouse theme and called "Engine Co. 69."

Where is all the expense coming from? Is the base being machined?

To be free standing I'm certain it will be. I would also expect the pole itself to be stainless.....you know for weather protection, nothing to do with hygiene

It absolutely is. As 2kwik4u mentioned above, there is a lot more going into this build since it is free standing. My previous Stripper Poles weren't that expensive in comparison since they clamped onto the tower. The forward swoosh of this tower proved to be problematic when designing the stripper pole which led to a free standing version. Fun Fact: My buddy who is designing the pole setup actually engineered and fabricated the blades for the Olympic Bobsledding Team's Bobsleds. So you can say this pole has Olympic roots =)

let me know if you need/want any structural design help.

I LITERALLY design giant vibrating machinery a for a living!

@2kwik4u .....you understand there are a couple of MASSIVE hilarious replies to your comment?!

I expect nothing less.

I usually lead conversation of "What do you do" with "I build industrial level vibrating equipment"........Usually gets the party started right there (or ends it depending on the groups outlook )

A. This is awesome.

B. $2K is ridiculous but not surprising contracting it out.

C. The force on the base will be quite high as the top of the pole is approached. Especially if spinning.

D. A pair of solenoids extending from the base into the pole would be an easy to build and easy to use locking system with a push button or switch to disengage.

@2kwik4u ......AWESOME!!!!!

Just received the below pics of the pole and will be picking her up later today. The sound system is an absolute beast. I will provide a detailed build thread within the next few weeks.

I can't wait to see photos of it being TESTED by the appropriate end users clad in appropriate testing garb.....purely so I can critique any possible flaws in the design!

Read my mind!

In the name of science, I've arranged for a test next week at Lake Havasu. I have 3 subjects lined up that will be wearing the appropriate PPE of practically nothing. Results to follow.

Just happened upon this thread and realized I may be in Havasu next weekend. Haha. Will update if I come across any testing.

Spotted out in the wild! Didn’t get a chance to swing by...

Sweeeeeeetttttt.....!!!!!
