How to put a Large BGE on a Boat

Wow, having looked at the other pictures in the post I have to say that the stand is just sexy. It has me wanting to a set of them to put out by the pool in my back yard. Clean and sexy!

thats some nice looking work. a reason to get a bigger boat

 
My thoughts exactly Richard, I don't see any gimbals and they would have been icing on the cake. I'm guessing a pretty big and hefty charter with a pretty smooth ride. Still an awesome stand.

looks fabulous, for sure

But, is seems also that somebody isn´t very close to the poverty level
This set up and boat wasn´t sure a bargain...

Beautifully made but I really don't think I'd want that on my boat. Thinking of the charcoal dust and spitting embers. That WHITE area would be nicely blackened in no time. Heck, I don't even want to see people wearing black soled shoes on my boat. Also curious of the heat transfer through the SS tubes though SS is crappy at tranfering heat. Otherwise it sure looks like a nice snug fit. Hopefully a few nasty waves won't hit it while the lid is open.... All in all beautiful work, just kind of dumb.

I have to think if someone went to all this trouble and expense that they have thought it through. To call it "dumb" seems uncalled for.

For the artistic look alone I would consider putting all of my eggs in a setup like this if I can add my folding shelves. I think it's damn sexy.

There is no question as to the sexiness of this mount. It's probably the one of the nicest BGE holders I have ever seen.

As an analogy I once mentioned to a friend how gorgeous a specific Lamborghini was. His opinion was that it was a Dumb car. He had his reasons for stating that opinion. We are still friends and respect each others opinions.

I have been a boater for a long time and I too have my reasons, some of which I mentioned. I'm also a volunteer marine safety inspector so I feel my reasons are somewhat valid considering that I can only see the 2 photos from the link. It's also been pointed out many times in the past that this forum is more a place we can discuss openly the things that interest us as Big Green Egg owners. I'm sorry if I offended you. I had hoped that maybe some lively and reasonable conversation might be opened rather than just the typical back-patting that is so common.

Point taken. Sometimes my posts can be more blunt than I intend. Have a great Easter Weekend!

Upon closer look at the pix several of us think the metal and welds looks more to be aluminum than SS. We wouldn't mind knowing more about this and seeing more pictures. I actually thought this mount was so interesting that I forwarded the link to several friends, boaters and otherwise.

Did anyone else notice that the mounts aren't completely fastened? 2 screws are half out and a few others look loose when I blew the pix up larger, yet the full weight appears to be installed.

Coming from an old sailing family I'm not terribly comfortable about having a fire container on deck, regardless of the weather .. looks neat, but ..
