Under Gunnel Storage (Life Jackets)

[Bushwacker]

You can buy "storage net hammocks" for gear at any good marine supply store. They hang from hooks I installed under the side decks in the cabin of my Seafari and lay against the flare of the hull, making good use of space that's otherwise wasted. They're 3-4' long and 1-2' deep and will easily hold 4 foam ski vests; open at the top, so easy to retrieve gear from. I've used them for years, and they're also handy for holding the side curtains up out of the way against the hull.
