Re: leaning post
No, that eBay thing is not a Birdsall - but for what the high bid currently is, anyone tempted by that one ought to just pitch in the extra $100 and get a Birdsall - my humble opinion only.
The "mini rocket launcher" that they make in 32" wide is the same unit that goes in the current production SeaCraft 20 and is a really nice leaning post with options for under-seat storage tray, whale tail, four rod holders, etc.
They make about 12 different sizes of leaning post, so there is something that would suit just about any size boat you can imagine ( including a few that would be oversized on a 23').
I searched pretty high and low before accepting that I was going to have to spring for the Birdsall leaning post, but considering how long it should last, the extra bit of cash seemed worth it.
