Cuddy question
 

Is the recessed box in the cuddy supposed to have a cover on it? Or do you stand in the box when walking through to the bow? Anyone have a pic of their cover to show?

Re: Cuddy question

My cover had a derict flush tolite under the box when I got it. We used it for a couple of years, then it got a leak and I removed it.

The yellow cushion was standard equipment in '76. Mine has since been cut down and rounded to allow a bit easier access while still having a filler to camp out on. No porta potti was installed that I know of (no mounts or screw holes evident)

I found a 120 qt Igloo cooler fits perfectly into that space and use it for a fish-box...the lenghth of the cooler left about 18" of open hole...ran 3/4" Starboard strips(2" wide) around hatch wall and made a lip for a custom cut Starboard hatch-lid ;)werx grate(whad he say?)...

RAP

You have a pic of that?

I dont know what I will store in that area yet. I was thinking extra ropes, bumpers etc. - stuff that you dont need to access every day.

Then again, I dont know what to store in the livewell either! Here in NJ I have no real need for the well.

Its called point and shot!! ;) The posting is the hard part!! And that is easy!!

All my covers are made of 3/4 Seaboard, I cut them out, CB came up and routed the edges and finger holes.

I made some Seaboard cleats on the front side walls and added a small cover in that spot.

The tackle boxes go under were the porta pot was.

I am having my deck sprayed with LineX this spring. This will make a perfect floor ever floor cover, water proof, skid proof, and cover all them holes that have been put into the floor.
They are all fixed and I will have what ever I want bolted to the floor before its done.
Warranted for life!! But who's life?? the boat is 30 years old this year!!
