For my 280. Looking for a bow rail flagstaff that doesn't look bulky or like a major add on. I'm also a bit fussy so it has to be centered. I know on larger SR that flagstaff is welded on. Any thoughts? FYI I will be using it for a burgee.

Look at Taylor Made mounts. I think they look great and could not be easier to install.

Replace your bow form with one that has a hole on top for the staff and a threaded hole on the inside to fit a threaded thumb screw. You probably won't find a pole that will fit the hole correctly, but a little whittling will do the trick.

A SeaDog 140 should work and the staff will be perfectly centered. Any add-on clamp will be slightly offset and look lousy.
