Custom Tower for a Grady White 33, Shipped to Mexico and Proven on the Water

Atlantic Towers engineered a full tower conversion for a Grady White 33 with factory hardtop, shipped it to Tampico on Mexico's East Coast, and enabled hand-tool installation with no field welding required.

The result: a state-record blue marlin and the first Super Slam in Mexico, proof that boat-specific engineering can travel well, install cleanly, and deliver measurable results on the water.

Captain Miguel's Story

A custom full tower for a Grady White 33 owned by Captain Miguel

Captain Miguel ordered a custom full tower for his Grady White 33. Atlantic Towers custom designed and built a full tower conversion for this Grady White with a factory hardtop.

The tower shipped via standard tractor trailer to his marina on the East Coast of Mexico, in Tampico, where the captain was able to assemble and install the tower with only hand tools.

That installation approach was possible because the project was designed with custom machined fittings and no welding required.

Captain Miguel was very pleased with both the tower and the installation, which matters because the live story presents the project not just as a fabrication success, but as a customer result the owner could immediately put to work.

Why It Worked

The story proves more than fabrication skill

The strength of this project is not just that Atlantic Towers built a custom tower. It is that the engineering, installation method, fit and finish, and fishing results all reinforced each other.

Boat-specific engineering made international shipping realistic and practical.

No field welding reduced installation complexity and marina-side disruption.

OEM fit and finish remained part of the project standard, not an afterthought.

The owner could assemble and install the structure himself with hand tools.

Fishing results created real-world proof that the finished tower improved usability.

Atlantic Towers Result

Delivered internationally, installed cleanly, and proven under real fishing pressure

We delivered a custom design with OEM fit and finish, easy installation, and international delivery at the best possible cost and route. In this case, the installation was handled by the captain himself.

Given the fishing stats, Atlantic Towers believes the project delivered more benefits than the customer expected.

Atlantic Towers positions the result as part of a broader boating promise: providing solutions for any type of boating, from fishing and sailing to watersports and pontooning, with OEM fit and finish and easier installations throughout.

Thank you Captain Miguel. We wish you well with your next fishing adventure or tournament, and happy boating wherever and however you do it.
