Can you post a picture of the barrel?

Do plan to fire only salutes or live shot, too?

You may want to consider where on the boat you will be shooting it.  I've shot much larger naval carriage cannon on sail boats, but in some cases, you may run out of space.  Some applications may be better suited to another setup - like a swivel gun

When you post a picture of the barrel (which will give us a better idea of what type of carriage is best suited to it), please post a picture of the deck where you plan to shoot it.
