Idea, need feedback

[POINTER94]

Messing around with something. Mods feel free to poof this if it crosses the line. <br /><br />How many of you would buy a product that is a quick release mounting system for a grill that would be near universal for all boats under 30 ft. You would not need to mount any hardware to make this work. It doesn't exist except as a cardboard cutout at this time but if there was interest we could go forward. It would install in about 10 seconds, and have an infinate number of adustments. <br /><br />We would be happy to give I-boats first rights to sell. Just interested how many of you grill on the boat and such. It would, of course be safe....

Pointer,<br /><br />I use a Magna Kettle BBQ that mounts in a rod holder, and hangs over the side.<br /><br />

<br /><br />I love my little grill, and its Coast Gaurd approved!<br /><br />They have a charcoal model, and a model that runs on propane, and a couple different sizes too.<br /><br />I purchased mine at West Marine.

I never have time to cook when I'm fishing cause I am usally busy, but when on the pontoon, I have a full blown grill on it, mounted in the front.

Re: Idea, need feedback

it's a great idea i guess pointer ////<br /><br />but I wouldn't personally use it .. <br /><br />1870 mod-v duck boat <br />1890 pro-v magnum fishin' rig<br />21' RDS CC fishin; rig ..<br /><br />I hardly have room for all my other crap ...<br /><br />plus - have to make sure I have room for a few sandwiches, couple bags of chips and a beer or two. ...<br /><br />while boating ..grillin' out for me would be a shore lunch over an open fire.<br /><br />but don't let me stop you from doin' it..<br /><br />I'm no marketing or demographic expert.

Pointer...why not post this in the non-boating tech topics. Your just looking for info and ideas so I don't see the harm in the post. I got a toon also but have never really considered doing a grill on it. Would be neat though. Can you maybe post a picture of what ya' got so far?

Re: Idea, need feedback

You know, and I'm sorry this is a little off topic from your post, Pointer, but I love all the things that fit in the rod holders. I got a swivel elbow lantern holder that fits into one of mine that's very convenient. I love being able to crank up the Coleman and hang it out over the water at night. It's not like I use all my rod holders at once. And the grill the others pointed to above seems like a great idea too. Hope they didn't steal yours. I like the idea of having something that mounts on the boat but takes up no cabin/cockpit space. I guess that's the kind of mount you had in mind?

Re: Idea, need feedback

The design is one of those simple things that would be somewhat easy to copy, but nobody has come up with a marketing slant for it yet, nor is there a patent. Can’t really post a pic just yet, but it will not utilize a rod holder. In addition is can be used to hold a table or cooler.<br /><br />We are messing around with different variations of the design and we are having one made out of stainless steel as a prototype. Once we have the opportunity to see how it will work in a real world application, I think at that point additional information can be shared. But it is our intention to maximize the existing hardware on almost every boat and make something that we do frequently - Grill out. Grilling on a boat is great IMHO. Want to make friends try burgers, impress a date (wife), Kabob’s. But like almost every boat owner I am not quite what you would call normal. Before we spend any time or money I would be like to get at least some idea of how many of us enjoy this. <br /><br />Thanks guys

Grill often on the boat and always looking for ways to improve upon it! Especially during hunting season - it don't get any fresher than that!
