Re: 410 Sundancer/Express Cruiser and 400 Sundancer/Express Cruiser **Official Thread
I really like that idea, and have a friend who melts lead for re-loads so that part probably wouldn't be a problem. My weak spot is wood working though. I'd have to find a suitable piece of wood for the base, and figure out how to route it out properly then seal the lead inside. What type wood did you use and what part of it did you route out? How did you seal the lead in?
The more I think about it the more i am leaning towards something like what you have but using the Garelick (like Sea Ray did) brackets on the bottom of the table and on the base so it can be quickly broken down and then set up inside the salon for inside meals. My wife really likes the teak tables with the compass rose in them from the vendor in the UK.
The table stays where you put it and I've never had it move or tip over and we are in 8-10 ft seas several times a year. I don't really know how much the base weighs. I bought 30 lbs of lead and melted it all, but the routed area wouldn't hold all of it so the remainder is in a can in my shop.....i'd guess the remainder is about 10-12 lbs.
