He's coming next week when all the hard work is done!! :'(

Re: Ok Fix it time!!
 

That's a good one Crusher ;D You'll never catch Macojoe with was in HIS hands. Or will we?? :-/

Seriously MJ, that thing is going to be showroom condition when you're done.

That looks like a deckbrush or gaff handle on the port side gunnel. How did you afix the holder(s)? Or is that factory? I was thinkin of putting some rod/gaff/deck brush holders on some new starboard tank covers, but I'd rather be able to lean my knees up against that part.

Thanks,
Blue

If you look at pic # 5 you will see the boat hook on top and my fish pic on the bottom, Look close all i did was take a 1 1/2 PVC pipe, cut out the middle to just big anough so that the hanle fits in the slot with a snap. Screw to the inside liner and do the same front and rear of what you want to put there.

I have Gaff, fish pic, and boat hook on one side and Net and paddle on the other side. Better then any holder you will ever byuy in the store!!

Re: Ok Fix it time!!
 

Really like your gaff, etc holders...but my '74 got no insde liner to screw to...how'd you do that...?...

Re: Ok Fix it time!!
 

Nice,

Does my 76' have an inner liner to screw stuff to? Macajoe, what do you have going on up forward with that hinged hatch?

Thanks,
Scott

Re: Ok Fix it time!!
 

Thinkin' your's is like mine w/ no liner...looks like MJ's made a nice hinged lid for the big forward hatch that extends under the cuddy...looks good, Big Guy... ;D

Re: Ok Fix it time!!
 

The hinged hatch has another hinge so that when you open it it lays flat in the cabin. It had a derict flust tolit when I got it in there.
I removed it cause it was leaking and did not feel that I needed it! My wife could have killed me!!
I told her it was shot and that a new one was like $500!! She said forget it! ;)

Now it is a great place to put my tackle boxes!! Out of site for the theft!!
Easy to make and I find it handy!! I will get a better pic for you tomorrow, i will be preping the floor this weekend for paint
