the directions I think are something along the lines of...

1. Drink a beer
2. Put the empty bottle in one of the cupholders that isnt under the rigging
3. Insert bottle rocket into empty beer bottle
4. Light wick


For anything larger I think you need to be in al-qaeda

You might want to try the Arima Boat Owners Group on MSN. They have some pictures of boats rigged with launchers and they have some message boards where you might be able to get some more detailed info.

Good luck.

Wow, your first post and you've managed to add absolutely nothing to the conversation. Am I missing something here?

You'll need to install some type of arch or rod for them to mount to. if there is already one there you can buy bolt on holders made by various companies, lee's for instance.

There are some folks here locally that manufacture arches as pointed out by another person (samsons)

The other option is to drill large holes in your top and buy the flush mount holders ie perko and mount them that way.

You might check for rocket launchers on that big auction site... I found an outfit that would custom fit to my needs... ordered, and worked great. Six tube aircraft alumn, for about $100.

I had to send them a drawing which they followed perfectly.
