Ericson 30+ Whisker Poles

[mjsouleman]

I am currently researching a whisker pole for Discovery (1983 E30+), brand new they run about 1 boat buck so if anyone has an unused one lying about, let me know please.

To this point, I have not found one looking at used boat equipment sites.
I consider this necessary for plans to head down the East coast and back in 2020.

I got a new Forespar 12-18 for about $800 when West Marine had their liberal price matching scheme going. Last time I checked, WM had restricted the price matching rules quite a bit.

Shipping charges are a killer with poles, but WM does do ship-to-store for free.

Have you checked Bacon's in Annapolis for used ones?

Bacons is closed at this time (Saturday evening) but I will contact them Monday.

Cann't seem to find anything yet under $1,100.
