Fish, they nice nice rod boxes, they look just like mine, but you will need to cut the opening bigger. Plus I think they have a lip in the bottom. Means they are suposed to sit flush on the deck. That again means cutting low to the deck like I did. I dont like them because its easier for water to get behind the gunnel. Plus as the problem that I ran into is the fuel line. The back of my rod boxes hit my fuel line, so you may have to relocate the direction of the fuel line. That was a pain. I dont use teh rod boxes, but they were new, so i threw them in. I would prefer to run 1/4 starboard down the whole side over the rod holder and mount dive tank holders. Maybe in teh future, but it might hurt the resale. There seems to be more fishing guys then divers. ;D

i dont use them at all but want the boat to look a little nicer the ones i have now are cracked, dirty, yellow, and they are falling out because the screw holes are bigger than the screws. i also have my deck light screwed in to them would that be a big problem or could i just moun them to the new box. i found my measurements the boxes are 60" long 16 1/2" wide and 3 1/2" deep. so i think they were two small anyway. i am never going to sell mine so i can do what ever i want. i like the idea of just covering them with starboard., insted of making it a scuba tank holder i would put some type of cushion over it and make it a leaning post when fishin'.

builders pics are in the center console gallery......great work there builder!...wish i had the space and tools to do complete workovers like that...looks like blast!(with the help of a couple illegal mexicans)

Odd place for deck lights. Mine are mounted higher, just above the rod boxes. I dont remember the measurements for mine, but 60" or so sounds right, or maybe slightly bigger.

i put them there so i didn't rip them off one day fishin' like running to get a pole and knock it off.

look here is were they are



see the light over in the left top corner is that bad placing ??? should i move them or just mount them to the new rod boxes.

[msbhammer]

No, keep it. Actually thats a big light. I like it. I have these tinly little whimpy lights. A total of four of them.
Your light is actually recessed so you dont bump into it.
I might do teh same now maybe. ;)
