Id like to take a minute to introduce y'all to Heron Platforms. We are a small company owned by 3 people who not only love to be on the water but spend our time redfishing for fun and in tournaments. We feel we can deliver a quality and practical platform since it is something we use everyday. We designed these things from our experience on the water and not just a fabricator who is making a product that knows nothing about them. All 3 of us are members of the Emerald Coast Redfish Club in the Panhandle of Florida which is a non profit organization which is partners with Heron Platforms. We would like to offer our platforms to y'all as we are working on becoming one of this forums sponsors. We have a website that is just getting off the ground and should be functional very soon. We are also looking into having our platforms powder coated for those guys looking to match their boat. If you are interested in a casting platform, poling platform, or any other inshore or flats accessories for your boat hit me up and we will see about getting you taken care of. Links are below of our website as well as the ECRC. Id like to invite y'all to both and if ever in the Panhandle drag your boat over and fish a tournament with us.

If y'all have any questions feel free to post on here, email, or call.

Welcome to the 411! I look forward to seeing some pictures of what you guys have to offer. Will you have leaning posts & T-tops?

Is the platform in the picture just setting on the deck is it mounted or secured to the deck?

The one in the picture is just sitting on the deck. We are in the process of taking pictures of our platforms on different boats such as Lake and Bays, Pathfinders, Hewes, Century, Rangers, etc and they will be mounted down to show how and where each platform can be mounted on a particular boat.

What are the tops made out of on your platforms? Do they come with turnbuckles or mounting hardware? Do you have a pricelist? I'm definitely interested. PM sent.

whats the prices on the stand alone platforms sir ?

I believe they are starboard tops. They are in the process of building / updating their website with pricing information.

Our platforms are $330 for the one with rodholders and $260 without. We dropped off our first platform to the powder coaters yesterday, we are offering black (one year warranty) and white (five year warranty) for an additional $90 each. We offer over 200 different powder coat colors on request including "candies". We have not received our turnbuckles and hardware yet but can throw something together if need be in the meantime. The tops are made out of 1/2" starboard with Diamond Pattern. Shipping will be $50 per platform due to the size.

If we can get enough presold Im sure we meet someone in between LA and FL if enough people in one area are wanting them. Check out our website, we plan on adding a bunch of pictures after this weekend.

Guys if you all want to see one of these fine crafted platforms, I will be back down sometime within a week or two. And you are more than welcome to take a peek. Sorry meant to reply back earlier but r_jackson's avatar got me mesmerized

LMAO!! Yeah they are pretty sweet! You got any pics of yours?
