Default Re: Storage

Lots of storage on the 94 v21.

Cuddy cabin has 2 large removable floor panels for underfloor storage along keel. this space extends aft of the cuddy door to the 60 gal poly tank. This fits 3 milk crates and a porta potty.

Beneath the port double seat is an insulated fishbox which drains thru-hull on the port side.

Beneath the back half of the starboard double seat is an aerated livewell that is fed water via a thru-hull on the hull bottom and drains thru-hull on the starboard side. Beneath the front half of the starboard seat is empty space. I am thinking of cutting an opening and installing a hatch to recapture this wasted space.

There is storage in the stern corners. Batteries to starboard, and oil tank and fuel filter in the port side.

My friend, jaysea, has added a shelf around the upper wall of the cabin of his v20 that is great for keeping this and that handy, but not underfoot. Any v-20 cuddy can have such a shelf, thanks to the highly flared bow.

Of course, the dash behind the windshield is huge and you can store all sorts of doodads there with good protection from wind and spray.

The bracket-like molded transom on the v21 creates a large deep well, that provides storage for all kinds of slimy stuff.

The foredeck on the cuddy is huge and once you are at your destination you can throw all kinds of stuff, like coolers and portable gas tanks, up there.

There are also side panels for rod storage, but they only work well for short rods, gaffs and boat-docking poles.

When we are sharking and hooked up, we can clear rods in a hurry by throwing them into the cuddy with the hatch open.

I am also considering cutting into the cuddy bulkhead and installing a tackle locker in the cuddy wall in front of the port seats. The locker would only take up about six inches deep of the cuddy space. But that is a project that is at least a year or two away.

Yep, lots of storage space on the v21 cuddy. Check out the pics in my gallery and you will see what I mean.
