Default Building a roost to keep birds off boat.

It always astounded me how much effort we spend trying to keep birds off
our boats, but I have never seen someone build a roost so they had
somewhere else to sit.

I figure an old mast and spreader would be ideal. I could build a literal
"crow's nest" on top for Ospreys to nest in.

Any experience?

Osprey nests around where I live are put up as you describe. They look like
a shipping pallet mounted on top of a light pole. Location is always so
Qsprey can view water the from perch. Here is an image of this type nest at
this link.
