ROD BOXES

[steplift20]

i need to replace my rod boxes too but yours dont fit right there is a space at one end how and if did you fix it

YOU HAVE TWO CHOICES:

1) YOU HIRE SOMEONE THAT DOES FIBERGLASS WORK AND HAVE THEM MADE, WHICH IS THE BEST CHOICE BUT VERY EXPENSIVE, SINCE A MOLD WOUD HAVE TO BE MADE. IF YOU DECIDE TO DO THAT CONTACT BUILDERFL
HE HAD THEM MADE AND HIS GUY HAS A MOLD MAYBE.

2) YOU CAN PURCHASE THE ONE I BOUGTH FROM FPMARINE.COM @ $125.00 EA. BUT THOSE HOLES I COVERED ONE WITH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER POCKET AND THE OTHER SIDE YOU'LL HAVE TO USE STARBOARD.

GOOD LUCK, LESTERUS

Lesterus is right! The fiberglass guy in Homestead, Florida that made mines did do a mold. You can contact Archi 305-607-7717 and ask him for a price.

Carlos nice work! An EPIRB - wow!

;D

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU REMEMBER 2-3 YEARS AGO, A GUY
COMING BACK FROM ELLIOTT KEY WITH HIS FAMILY, RAN OUT OF GAS AND A SUMMER STORM CAPZISE HIS BOAT
THEY WHER RECUED THE DAY AFTER BUT HIS KIDS DIED OF HYPOTHEMIA IN THEIR ARMS. IF YOU THINK ELLIOTT KEY IS ABOUT 1 MILE FROM SHORE (YOU KNOW THE AREA) THIS IS UNTHINKABLE, BUT IT HAPPENED. THAT'S
WHEN I REALIZED THAT AN EPIRB WOULD HAVE SAVED THEIR LIVES AND I BOUGTH IT. BESIDES WHEN WE GO OUT 10-20 MILES OUT, BOY!! YOU WANT TO HAVE HIS THING!!!!

Buy oversized boxes (SSI in Maryland) and enlarge your opening. There's plenty of space to enlarge. I've done it. It's easy.

You're right, can't place a dollar value on life saving equipment. Way to go Carlos! Maybe I will get me one too. By the way, I'm out of commission for now - repairing the damage done by the vandals to my console and then about two weeks ago, the weight of the new hard top and electronics box was a little too much for the original T-top (designed for canvas). The aluminum poles on both sides broke off on 3-5 ft seas as I was riding her hard. I'm lucky the whole top didn't fall of the boat. Well, it's back to repairing my boat. What else is new?
