Aluminium fabricator

Post by Kestrel » Sun Oct 15, 2017 12:56 pm

I have a Barcrusher 560C with a fold down hard top. It's a good arrangement if the boat storage area has a low height, however it's not the best setup. These days you can buy them with a proper, fixed hard top that offers much more comfort from the elements and better visibility.

I'm trying to find someone who has the ability to make and fit a hard top for the boat along similar lines to the HT series. https://www.barcrusher.com.au/series/ht-models/

Does anyone know of someone who might be able to do this work?

Cheers

Have you tried barcrusher? I had some aluminium work done , rod holders and canopy by pelagic boats out in Wonthaggi. Aluminium fabricators seem to be hard to find when it comes to small custom jobs. The guys out in Wonthaggi did a good job but you have to be very specific with what you want. Unfortunately ran well over time too. They did matt cinis new boat and have built some nice rigs.
Good luck

Thanks. Yep, Barcrusher don't offer that kind of service and can't retrofit earlier models.
