When I bought my 380 3 years ago, it came with a burgee mount on the bow rail. I thought I would stumble across the pole eventually, haven’t yet…. Lol

so it appears to be a decent mount and holds a 1/2” pole. Looking for something of good quality, prefer not to buy entire mount, if possible.

What have you bought/used that you like. Thinking of using a small USA flag. I have a thing about flying flags on my boat. I fly 2 flags, old glory and the POW….

TIA

Chris, you can probably pick up a pole on Amazon and not have to buy the whole setup.

Now, a word of advice. Long standing boating rules suggest you should only fly the USA flag from the stern, and the size of that flag is determined by the size of your boat.

How about a CSR burgee from the bow?

I found this pole on Amazon
 
Chris, how does the pole secure in the socket? With a twist knob... an o-ring and clip... that can help narrow things down. Can you post a pic of the holder? Are there any identifying marks on the holder? I have a catolog of these things that I can look in - but it would help to know some more details about the holder.

Do you prefer a chrome or SS pole... maybe wood?

I knew I should of got a pic this morning!

It has a small black knob on it. The pole looks to only slide in .75” in
I would be ok with either chrome or stainless. Just want something that doesn’t look cheap.

Here is something that would fit, has a similar mount on Amazon

yea, I recall that now that you mention it. Hmmm. I may have to make a concession on my thoughts on what flags to fly… lol

I bought a company in Indiana 15 years ago… it was on a busy highway and it had 3 flag poles out front….same height…. We flew an American flag in the center, Canadian flag and a Indiana state flag. It was a gong show…. The American flag had to be taller then the other two…. We had some flag natzi that would drive by and call city hall and the newspaper when we would screwup….. half mast was a shit show. The newspaper called me one day and said if you don’t get this flag thing figured out we will run a story. I was like wtf is wrong with you people….. took all the damn flags down…. Problem solved back to making parts
 
Lmao, that is crazy. I can’t believe a paper would do a story over it

currently I have 2 flags mounted to my antenna, which works pretty good. Not high class by any means, but gets them displayed

It was all political…. Paper was dem…. Mayor was republican…. First time I was ever used by a politician for votes… I brought jobs to a town struggling. City hall called minimum every 2 months about the flags. Mayor took me out to lunch (Culver’s :)) and brought up the flags….. it was frickn insane.

Why the stern?

When we bought the building and promised all these jobs….. the mayor took me and the economic development lady to Red Lobster for lunch. I was the only one drinking a beer…. :)
