Enclosure addition
My latest modification/add on to my ever evolving curtain creation. For some background I have had the standard 3 sided enclosure for 3 or 4 years now and it works fine most of the time. Just aint enough protection for an old candy a$$ though when it starts getting super cold and I catch that rockfish fever. Anyways a couple of years ago i purchased a heater from a guy that runs off the cooling system on my motor and installed it in my center console.(just like a car heater) It works great and love having it blowing on my legs even when its chilly but I wanted a way to "hold the heat in", so I decided to make a little 3 sided aft end enclosure where it hopefully will make it nice and comfy when running to and from and also when fishing. Figuring that since heat rises I didnt really need material low where it might interfere with getting to the pit, also wanted to leave the cooler under the leaning post accessible. (sammy's and chillies) Lastly I wanted to make it not to difficult to get out of to make it fishable as I can. check it out- the old lady says its ugly and i kinda agree but it will come off when it gets warm- heres a couple of pix- 30 gage strataglass and black acrylic (generic sunbrella)
