YEAP, HERE WHEN THE SUN IS NOT BURNING, THEN IT'S RAINING, WHERE I LIVE, BEING CLOSE TO THE EVERGLADES, IT RAINS EVERY DAY FOR AT LEAST ONE HOUR.

AS FOR THE "TOOLS", YOU HAVE TO BE READY, HERE YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT'S COMING, YOU CAN HOOK A SARDINE OR A BLUE MARLIN WITH THE SAME BALLYHOO.

I WENT OUT LAST SUMMER TO TRY OUT AN "ANGLER" BOAT THAT A FRIEND OF A FRIEND BOUGTH AND HOOK UP A YELLOW FIN TUNA OF AT LEAST 300 LBS, 2 HOURS OF WORK AND WHEN I GOT IT CLOSE TO THE BOAT AND ASK THE GUY FOR A GAFF , HE LOOK AT ME AND ASK: "WHAT'S THAT?" BOY, WAS I PISSED, I COULD HAVE SOLD THAT FISH FOR AT LEAST $500.00 BUCKS

WOW ;D

You are my new idle :D

Instead of a fire extinguisher mounted next to the rod boxes, I would turn that into a gun holster!

Nice fish...

Re: ROD BOXES
 

YOU HAVE TWO CHOICES:

1) YOU HIRE SOMEONE THAT DOES FIBERGLASS WORK AND HAVE THEM MADE, WHICH IS THE BEST CHOICE BUT VERY EXPENSIVE, SINCE A MOLD WOUD HAVE TO BE MADE. IF YOU DECIDE TO DO THAT CONTACT BUILDERFL
HE HAD THEM MADE AND HIS GUY HAS A MOLD MAYBE.

2) YOU CAN PURCHASE THE ONE I BOUGTH FROM FPMARINE.COM @ $125.00 EA. BUT THOSE HOLES I COVERED ONE WITH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER POCKET AND THE OTHER SIDE YOU'LL HAVE TO USE STARBOARD.

GOOD LUCK, LESTERUS

Lesterus is right! The fiberglass guy in Homestead, Florida that made mines did do a mold. You can contact Archi 305-607-7717 and ask him for a price.

Carlos nice work! An EPIRB - wow!

Buy oversized boxes (SSI in Maryland) and enlarge your opening. There's plenty of space to enlarge. I've done it. It's easy.

You're right, can't place a dollar value on life saving equipment. Way to go Carlos! Maybe I will get me one too. By the way, I'm out of commission for now - repairing the damage done by the vandals to my console and then about two weeks ago, the weight of the new hard top and electronics box was a little too much for the original T-top (designed for canvas). The aluminum poles on both sides broke off on 3-5 ft seas as I was riding her hard. I'm lucky the whole top didn't fall of the boat. Well, it's back to repairing my boat. What else is new?
