Merry Fisher 895 wheelhouse roof

[craighlamb]

Hi I have a 2019 Merry Fisher 895 on order for a  2019 delivery. 

Does anyone out there know if the wheelhouse roof has the structural integrity to carry the life raft and tender? 

Total weight would be around 100 kg.

Hope someone can advise

cant wait for June.

Cheers

Hi Craighlamb

Congratulations on the NC 895. Our locale dealer is offering a roof rack system (Yakima brand) that would attach to the NC 895 roof's side rail. I am interested in mounting a kayak to the cross bars of this system and I too question the roof's structural integrity. I asked our dealer this question and have not heard back. Maybe you could also ask your dealer the same question.

I’ll ask Sundance (my dealer) as well. Let us know what anyone hears back.

I’ll say this, they had a large basket and dinghy attached on the roof rack for demo purposes at the Seattle boat show last month. So I’d be surprised if they said it won’t work.

I got a picture of the Yakama rack installed on an 895 at the boat show. We are definitely interested in this setup. I think they called it the Adventure package. It also came with a solar panel. See pictures below.
