Tackle Station

[RIBoater]

Hey Guys,

I'm wanting to replace the port jump seat in my V-20 Cuddy with a tackle station. Any ideas?

I also want to replace my rod holder inserts. Any word on the ones available from Flounder Pounder?

Thanks,

RIBoater

CB and MJ did a GREAT built-in tackle box in MJ's boat...not much in Gallery about it, but they posted LOTS of pics at the time...

I had a bunch of left over starboard when we did the interior of the boat over.

We came up with this:

Super nice work Maco. Is that mounted into the port bulkhead? I'm wanting to keep that space available for sleeping when necessary.

The Fitzpatrick one is nice too. I'm probably gonna go for something like that. Freestanding and attached to the deck in the area where the jump seat currently is. Maybe low enough so I can mount a cushion on top and have it double as a seat while underway.

I'm gonna order the recessed rod holders from Flounder Pounder. I think they're about $120 each. I'll let you know how that goes.

Yes my box is mounted to the bulk head, you can not remove.

Good luck with what ever you do!

I stole MJs idea and modified it abit.

I used an old fiberglass (livewell) compartment and made starboard rail slides and a front. 8)
