Stainless Roof Racks, Arches, Masts

Does anyone know of a good fabricator near the CD factory working with stainless and could do custom roof racks, arches and masts/mounts for radar etc? I am thinking that a roof rack for a dinghy and on-roof storage for the C-Ranger is going to have to be a custom job unless someone is working on that already which I doubt.

Also I would think there is a cheaper alternative to the $1000 mast offered as an option by C-Dory that has no purpose other than to mount the radar, and GPS antenna.

For a bit more than that I would think a good roof rack with an arch and rod holders could be built for the C-Ranger roof (minus the stack). The roof on the C-Ranger 25 has the riser to eliminate ducking on entering and leaving the cabin. The rack would make it possible to store the dinghy on the roof.

Quicker yes, but more convenient no. It would be in the way all the time for the way I would use the boat. There needs to be a kicker on the swim step for trolling and emergencies, and the fish box will go on the swim step as well. Might have a cargo, generator spot for on it also to keep the cockpit clear.

The roof rack I have in mind would provide a level surface to store the dinghy and there would be space under the rack on either side of the roof riser to secure and store stuff on the roof.

The dinghy I have is an Alaska Series 220 Tender at 40lbs. Easy enough to handle in, out, and up.
