At one point I think they were offered as an option a few Gradys had them here. There have in the past been threads here about folks buying direct from the original subcontractor. I think the threads were about tops. IMO you might just be better off finding a local shop and have them make one up...

I like it also and agree with Dennis that if the bungee were captured at the top you would not have to juggle them when removing the boxes in a rough sea. I am in the design phase of revamping my ice box into useful tackle storage. Did you use Plano boxes and if so what series/size. I have found...

Hey angler - looking for an update. I figure you have had a pretty good ice storm and now the snow last night since previous posts. How did she hold up? I'm thinking fine but was curious. I finally got mine covered and so far in this storm it looks good. Right now the wind is gusting over 50 but...

Yes noXcuse I did see the removed cushions and the raised deck. Looks OK but not for my use, I like a bit more around me. It gets rough here and I think I would be in for a swim although there are plenty of ways to get back aboard with the ladders. It might be better with the table removed and...

Nice lines but a no forward seating option for more fishing room would be nice for me but they are not designing it for me are they. Probably sell well. Just not a lot of deck space for a 25' boat.

Nice job Robert! The epoxy is nice to work with, lack of odor was a good thing.

I you can keep the fan dry and out of water you might be able to rig up a humidistat that would turn at a preset humidity. We have enough wind here usually to air the interior out without a fan. I put a window fan secured with bungee cords in mine one time when it had been very cold and then got...

Oh don't get me wrong PVC can surely break in the cold. We break it apart all the time at work, very easy with a hammer in cold weather. The sun will also degrade it making it more brittle, next season I will replace all of mine but I will use PVC again. Looking at NHanglers application I would...

Sounds like quite the set up angler.

Your cover looks very nice, it should work well. I also use a PVC frame with my winter cover but my arrangement is a bit different due to cabin and radar arch on my boat. I used 1 1/2' PVC on mine and I have four conduits running from the bow rail over the radar arch and then angle down and rest...

What is the nature of the bottom where the anchor is? When my 25' was on a mooring in an area with a sand bottom I used a combination of two mushrooms. IIRC I had a 150 lb. mushroom and I purchased another, hooked them together with a chain, put a swivel in the center and then chain up to my...

It does look like whatever screwed up the tank came through the deck plate. When I redid my fuel tank deck I replaced the deck plates. When you are repairing things I would at least treat the deck plates to new O rings. I would replace personally. I think the on and off theory has some merit. I...

Dennis - interesting how the previous owner cut back the motor box. Not bad, still have the rod holders and some storage in the center section. If you can neaten up that deck hatch it will be really nice. Waterproof would be nice, how would you do it so you think? Somebody must make a waterproof...

Robert I replaced those pieces with pressure treated wood when I did mine. On my 25' the hoses do not cross any of the supports. They emerge from the tank and exit to the fill and vent in the same section. Yes I'm sure you can do better. I was going to get fancy with the supports but the just...

When I did my projects I did a lot of reading and looked at many different products for the deck core and material for the stern cockpit panel. I went with the ply over a cored material or Starboard for that panel. I was not sure how structural the stern panel needed to be, balsa core I thought...

Where in Mass. are you located?

If Grady had used one piece of plywood I might agree but the pieces under my deck were very small and many different sizes. I just don't see any good reason for that except to save on dump fees by selling the scrap and shipping it out the door. Don't get me wrong I love my boat but I truly can't...

The pro balsa does look to me similar except for the coating of resin. By the description the individual blocks must be coated and not the entire surface so you can contour it. I would like to have found some of the sheets with both sides coated entirely but that did not work out, I don't...

Robert that is my thought just find some unused space and make it suitable for new use. I found this http://www.boatoutfitters.com/tackle-unit-6-trays and it should fit nicely in the lower part of my icebox. I ordered two of the 3650 Plano boxes to see how they will work with my tackle. If I can...
