SOLAR PANEL ARCH / DINGHY DAVIT FABRICATION

Hello all. I would very much like to get the aforementioned arch built and installed on my Freedom 35. I have gotten a quote of $5,500.00 here in SW Florida, but would like to know if anyone has experience with this type of a project in Central or South America, for example? Specifically, price, quality, timeframe? Thank you, in advance, for your input.

Check out Atlantic Towers online. In 2010 I used their "tower in a box" on my 34' cat with the leg cutoffs serving for davits. They have since greatly expanded the line.

Hardly Central America but these people build davits - you send them your drawings.

Be careful in unknown places with the quality of SS. Many times they will say it is SS316 yet it is SS304. It will look the same and a few months later it will start to rust. In my experience the SS pipes are cheaper in the US than most other places.
