One thing to consider is 1/4" starboard is much cheaper than 1/2 and 3/4...if you can design it so your 3/4" usage makes it STRUCTURALLY sound, you may be able to get by w/some 1/4" facing...


Lookin' pretty dang SKIPPY there Ridge...I shoulda looked closer last time I was aboard that beauty!!...

Thanks for the compliments.
Love that cabinet MJ. That is exactly what I wanted. I still don't have the space to store lead. I keep the excess in a 1 gallon plastic bucket and store it below deck.(Not the most handy place)

I was thinking about making something to hold rigs, out of the box. I like to keep some wire handy, a couple plugs and extra hooks, swivels and weight. I purchased a leader dispenser with suction cups that does well for keeping the spools on deck and at the ready. A boat is never finished.

Same basic idea on my 18..LOVE it. i never have to worry about bringing tackle and tripping over it in the floor. My "box" is and old fiberglass box I found in some junk piles. Painted and used it for the inside to save some $$ on starboard.

Wow Vic! I don't know what else to say, except wow. That looks awsome. I never really noticed that when we saw your boat. Truely professional quality.
