ROD BOXES

[LESTERUS]

CHARLIE:

THE NEW ONES HE RECOMENDS FOR OUR V-20'S ARE THE ONES I BOUGHT FROM HIM, AFTER OUR CONVERSATION HE ORDERED SOME AND ADVERTISE THEM IN HIS SITE, THE ARE ABOUT 67" LONG AND YES, THEY ARE RECTANGULAR. IN MY CASE (1978 V-20) MY ORIGINALS WERE TRAPEZOIDAL, THEREFORE THE OVERALL LENGTH WAS ABOUT 70" SO I HAD TO DO A LOT OF CUTTING AND ON TOP OF THAT I WAS LEFT WITH A HOLE IN ONE SIDE I HAVE TO COVER. WHAT I DID IS INSTALLED A FIRE EXTINGUISHER INSERT NEXT TO IT, (PORT SIDE) AND I WILL MOUNT MY "EPIRB" (EMERGENCY POSITION INDICATOR RADIO BEACON" IN THE OTHER SIDE (STARBOARD) THAT WAY I WILL COVER THESE HOLES.

I'LL POST SOME PICS WHEN I HAVE A CHANCE, SHOWING EVERY STEP.
