I'm thinkin' from these you can see where they stop and start, side to side and height to the gunwales etc...I'll get measurements soon...

Re: Hey Reel
 

Thanks for the pix. Whenever you get a chance on the measurements.

Re: Hey Reel
 

Back seat is 2 1/2" tall X 2 1/4" wide X 6" long

seem just a tad small to me??

Re: Hey Reel
 

Will do ;) ...

Re: Hey Reel
 

I'm measuring my butt now. I don't think 2 1/2" will quite work on the width !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Hey Reel

Re: Hey Reel

Re: Hey Reel

Re: Hey Reel
 

Yo Blue, I got riggers, can I play too? ;) ;)

I was just looking for the pix of here all decked out, but I can't find them ??? If I can't show pix, does that mean I don't have them on this board? ;D

Re: Hey Reel

I had some Grand Visions when I's settin' this puppy up ... got the good hardware (SOS) and went cheap on the poles ... they've worked great when used on king trips, but haven't zackly worn 'em out ... the shock-cords are shot ...

Re: Hey Reel
 

Well chosen job location 8) ...

Re: Hey Reel
 

I think the V ya'll are talking about was one I was trying to buy. The guy could never locate the title or registration. Would have been very convenient as I live about 1.5 miles away.

Re: Hey Reel
 

OK Harbour ... I finally got yer measurements...sorry for delay ::) ...


Footprint is 42" L x 22 1/2" W

Height under seat is 16 1/2" (that hght half the length of the box) ... back half of box is 19" H

The varying height of the box is to accommodate correct seat height in front AND allow fuel-line fittings in back ... I thought they would be too high in back when I's makin' 'em, but it's reely worked well the way they are...wouldn't change 'em if I could ;) ...


Lowes now has SS staples if you upholster yours :) ...

Re: Hey Reel
 

harbour, if you're going to build soome boxes, make a plug, I'l see if I can get the fiberglass shop up near my house in Goose Creek to make a couple pair of them

Re: Hey Reel
 

Keep me posted on that ;) ...if my tanks'll fit in 'em, I might need a pair ;) ...

Re: Hey Reel
 

I went ahead and started one helm box. It is 40"x18"wx16"h. I build it out a frame out of 3/4" poplar and side panels of 3/8" plywood. The top is 3/4'' plywood(two pieces laminated were the seat will mount).

Everything is glassed and faired. A 48 qt. cooler(with the lid removed) will be mouted inside the rear of the box and a new lid made of fiberglassed plywood and trimmed with resin covered mahaganoy will mount behind the seat.

The cooler has a drain plug, but I need to plumb it so it will drain outside the box.

This is the first time I have been able to log onto the forum in two days.

Re: Hey Reel
 

Yeah...some aspects of the site crashed a few days ago... da boys have got it mostly back up again ...

Sounds like yer boxes are comin' along nicely...good idea on the cooler insert, that'll work GREAT 8) ... how's about some pix? ;D ...I'd like to see :D ...
