I have a 2 gallon bucket with a lid I keep all of my little stuff in such as first aid kit, flares and small stuff I keep in the cuddy. It snugs nicely out of the way right next to the door. Life Vests go in the cuddy as well when not being worn. Rods go in the rod holders and I use the two in the deck fish boxes for just about anything, usually empty cans and sandwich bags.

1st thing to do is get rid of the ladder and install a swim-platform on the transom...that'll solve half yer storage problem right off the bat......

That is unless you have a particular need for a ladder and nothing else will do...

Like the others I have holders for the net and stuff like that, I store all in the cuddy in square 5 gal buckets they fit better and all stay dry!!

I nom longer have a V20 I have a 23 Sea Ox but all is the same in that cuddy also.

Ladders are a real pain!! Get yorself a rope ladder that rolls up or just bring your ladder when you know you are going to use it.

I leave my boat at the marina in the summer so everything has to be locked up. I dont have the first compartment tsubaki showed with his anchors. I have one similar in the floor of the cabin five gallon bucket with line and also store oil, antifreeze, boat soap, brushes). and another in the very front floor of the cabin (anchor and rode and bumpers). Rods get placed on the upper side shelfs of the cabin while at the marina. life preservers in their original bag laying in the cabin. GPS, fishfinder, first aid kit, and other misc get stored in a large luggage style tackle bag in the cabin. as far as the net it stays in one of the rod holders, cause I am not worried about someone stealing it.....

At walfart I bought a 4 palano box holder, its just a frame that you slide them into and snaps to lock them toghter.
I leave in the cabin and have each palano made up for Fluke, Bass, Sea Bass ect ect ect... I just pull the box that I need and thats all that comes up top.
I am working on a new sinker locker now, But what I have done so far is take 2" pvc pipe, cap one end, then puty a screw cover on the other end, a sticker that has what size sinker. Now to make a holder to hold them on the side walls. works pretty gosd.

I don't carry on any tackle boxes...I installed a built-in one under the port-side console



Sorry I don' have a better picture just now, but this shows where it is anyway...MJ saw mine and went apesh!t, and he and CB built a reall nice one outta Starboard for the same place...maybe MJ will show ya his...tackle-box that is...
