This used to be a thing I watched for when looking at boats. I am just not seeing as many cup holders in some of the new boats we are looking at. Is it just me? Does this matter to anyone else?

Years ago at the Anaheim boat show, a couple were making their final decisions on a boat, the wife made a comment that one of the boats they were looking at didn't have enough cup holders. I told her we could add as many as she liked, just needed to show us where she wanted them!

Selling points for sure! This is always in back of my mind. My obsession of cup holders in my 260 Razor was legit.

Total of Sixteen! 6 in bow, 4 in cuddy, 1 for driver, 1 shotgun seat with 4 more in side gunnel walls for back seat.

And this pick shows my wifey not even using one. Maybe cupholders are over rated after all.

I have too many…….

My boat came with 16. Then the previous owner added an additional 6 with quality suction cups. 2 of those being in the head.

Bottom line……. 22 in a 23’ boat.

I will be adding 2 drink holders to my custom fabricated boarding ladder, which will also have a water seat, umbrella holder, and bbq mount, built in. When finished…… I will have 24 drink holders. Only 8 of those being well placed. I think WorldCat just found any space that could fit a cup holder, got a cup holder. Lol

A new boat I’m considering only has 8-10 but has room for 14 passengers. Not that I ever plan to have that many guests on the boat, but dammit I need to set my drink down someplace to pour another one. 😜

Zero

Not drinking on the move, so no need!
Drinks slip around and ice melts on the move anyway, but what about when you wanna set your drink down and go for a swim, or something 😜

What?
Manufactured in? Or are some of those the portable one like arm rests?
That's total, including portable arm rests and both tables. Actually I forgot about the hard mounted retractable arm rest in the recliners. I think I have four more with those.

Dang, my '23 Malibu is rated for 13 peeps, but only has 8 cupholders. Seems like that's always been enough though. Half usually have sunblock in them.

I think 8 total. Try not to use them though, it either ends up on the carpet or sprayed all over the boat 😂

Empties back in cooler and usually have little trash that will go in ziplock. Easy with only two people.
I think that works if you don’t have the soft chests. I ripped an AO cooler with crushed beer cans before.

I had the same thing happen. The liners in the soft coolers cut easily.

9, wish I had 10. No cup holder for the driver, damn shame.
