Do I need a table? (moved from wrong section)

[urbnsr]

We have a round table installed in the back, in the shade under the bimini. We really like it, although I think it could be a little too high relative to seating. I wish the table post was shorter or, at least, adjustable. I think it would be nice to also have the choice of a table up front. We now use a cooler up front where the cooler lid flips over to hold drinks, etc. That's more like coffee table height. It works.

I didn't realize how nice a table is until we used it.

I cut the post on the table we bought down from "Dining" height to "Cocktail" height for use in our boat, also bought a 2nd base plate so that I can move the table from one location to another as the mood strikes.....

My pontoon doesn't have one. On my brother's express cruiser, we always keep it stored out of sight. It always gets in the way, and we don't mind eating from our laps. Tables take up too much valuable real estate, in my opinion. Cheers!

Hey Jordan, that's interesting. It should have had one from my understanding. Mine was shrink wrapped without the base plate installed, so I had the ability to tell them where to put it. Even though most are in the front, I opted to put ours out of the sun, under the bimini top.

Dealer said I should have a table and installed it for me up front. Looks like I'm getting one after all!

Sweet! There will be times you'll be glad to have it!

Nice to know. How high is your "Cocktail" table now? Do you notice any leg clearance issues when sitting down around the table or getting up? Maybe sit down beside and slide in?

Did you have any issues with the carpet when mounting the additional table base? I'd like to add one, too, but the Admiral read in the Bennington manual that no holes should be added. I assumed that was because of the carpet fraying (without a base plate of some type) or someone not locating the cross supports on the underside before drilling. Tnx again.

Short answer is I fear no drill....

I cut my table leg down to 22" which is "cocktail" height as compared to 27" to 31" for "dining" height as we generally don't dine on the boat but we sure do drink on the boat a lot... lol

In the current forward location I don't have or find guest having issue with moving about the playpen even with as many as 6 adults on board and since the table top pulls straight up and off I do pop it out of my way when I'm working or cleaning the playpen...
