Hey guys.

Been looking on here for a while, and wondering if anyone has had any recent experience with anyone fabricating a Rocket launcher (preferably SS).
Been looking at getting one for our fyran 580 horizon, but was put off enormously by the $1300 odd quote exc. gst  by fyran.

I figure that nautec marine or any other companies should be able to do it cheaper (hopefully).
If anyone can list some other companies that would be great, and thanks for the help.

Merry christmas and hopefully some great summer fishing!

Be careful what you get John. There are some rubbish ones out there. Saving money now may just bite you later. I just finished an alloy one for a guy with a 620 Horizon and by the time it was all fitted etc there wasn't a lot of change from 12 hundy.

Thanks for the replys guy. Yea, the cost i'm starting to see is going to be high, i guess the other option is a nice bait station with 3 or 4 rod holders and would hopefully be half the price.
Realistically a Rocket launcher keeps them out of the way a lot better.
Edge-probably a folding SS one (as the garage roof aint got any clearance on the boat as is.
not really sure as to what else, can probably add in a deck light and then it's figuring out how many holders ( 6 is more than enough)
