I got it from Oyster Bay Boat Shop, but they may only sell wholesale. I think the cost was around 1400. Probably 10 years ago. My original pole was 4 ½ , too big to mess with. Forespar stops making 3 ½ tubes at around 16 feet, but they agreed to do this at 17 feet and 3 ½ if they could put a couple extra wraps of carbon on , which was fine with me. It is light enough I could throw it like a javelin. The best thing is that to deploy, you just pop the bottom out of the urethane jaws, and pull the car down and it just shoots right out
Russ, doesnt seem to be a problem in front of the mast as far as I can see. It is smaller than the mast, so it is kind of line an extension in my view. It has a clear coat. I am not sure if that is enough protection, but I see the 1997 J-160 down the dock with a clear coat on their carbon mast, and it is still holding up. I think it is like you have to varnish over West System to protect it. I could be wrong. I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken.

From your comment you seem satisfied that it is worth the expense; could you expound on how you use the carbon pole vs an aluminum one?

I moved it to the rail, aft chock is inside of stantion, fwd chock os on outside of aft bow pulpit stantion. So far I have not had an issue wit lines getting tangled.

Just something else to trip over. Has anyone used the rail-mounted chocks? Any other solution (other than the mast)?
