Fish boxes in transom

[Billybob]

I use mine for storage, I put my lead in one and plan on keeping a coiled hose in their too, once I add the washdown.The other is for cut bait when I'm chunkin, or eels when I'm eelin.Take a few bunkers off the Ice, flip the top, cut em up on the backside of the top and throw the chunks in there.It's a real convenient place to keep the chunks and the knife especially when you end up playing mate for your guests esp. kids.When it's time to move and start the drift over, you don't have to worry about a board or stuff flying around.It works for me, just remember to clean it out on the way in!

You guys are going to make me a believer yet!!

Hi Billybob.....

I think you have something there...with the "bait center" ... I like that idea alot esp. for chunking.... attach a cutting board/Starboard on the backside of the hatch.... instant bait center...and everything washes directly overboard instead of into the cockpit.. [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img]

Anyone tried to insulate these boxes??

Off topic just a we bit-hows those harnel's coming along? I've been wrapping 29 year's---you?

[Capt Skip]

Don't know about the rest of you but mine came insulated? Not very much but there is at least 3/4" thick foam looking stuff.

I’m jealous .... mine do not have insulation ..at least not in my ownership....Oh Well!!

Off subject....

Steve....They came out reallllly nice....Even the guys at the tackle shop where I get all my stuff were amazed.....
I've been wrapping for over 20 years now..I learned in a tackle shop I use to work at...Got this big Idea that I could save money building my own stuff......Boy was that dumb idea!!

Looking to build some 30's,found a Lamiglas blank I liked ....come to find out they discontinued the blank several years ago. Contacted Lami to see if they had any laying around...they said not..So I'm trying to find replacement

Where do you guys buy your rod building stuff?

Why don't you give Leonard C a shout. They have those same boxes in the new silverhawk. Maybe
they have something new or better use.

DO you think Jason would put in a off subject
forum space for things like this. OH HI JASON [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Looks like you gave Merrick Tackle 4 stars ... I thought they only sold wholesale??? I will try to throw up some pics later....

As far as your other questions Hmmmm...Thats really Jasons call....I dont mind talking about these little side issues on this thread...but then again I started the thread.

Jason....First and foremost do you even want to go there...is more work from your point of view..
Second...(IMO)I think it would really need to be watched that the subject doesnt stray from SeaCraft too much (which I think it could)....We do have a great general boating forum in the HULL TRUTH (although some of the posts do get out of hand some times [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] )...and I dont think we want to go too far into general topics...thus loosing site of the purpose of this website

While it would be neater to isolate such topics I think, personally, we may want to just throw those topics up in a thread (like the rod question)...If it distracts from the main topic of that thread too much then a separate thread should be dedicated to the new topic.....

Does this make sense....these are just some thoughts .. any one else??
