Rod Boxes...Not REELY...

[reelapeelin]

Been wonderin what to do w/that precious space normally occupied w/Rod Boxes...just didn't need anymore rod storage...what I did need was a place for PFDs...visible and easy to get to...wish I'd already done this the other day when DNR stopped me for a safety inspection...woulda been easier than diggin 'em outta the front hatch in the cuddy...

Blank boxes to start with...



Then I found this stuff layin around...the original rub-rail off the 21...been meanin to toss it, but held on for some reason...the old lattice was pretty nasty...



Took the skill-saw down the rub-rail, leaving a "J" mold to kill out the edges...



Kate stopped by for inspection...



Although these pics don't show it, the stuff cleaned up pretty good w/a ton of Clorox-based stuff...the molding cornered OK...





So put it all together and BOOM!!... instant PFD storage...



Stores three per side...w/a couple more under the cuddy for good measure, everybody rides...
