Fender storage

[v6toy4x]

I am tired of having to raise and lower the engine hatch every time I need my fenders, so I put them on the hatch to the floor compartment, it does hinder the access to that compartment but we don't really use it, too old for skis, tubes etc. plus dont really want to get down on my hands and knees to get stuff out.

Looks great! I always hate trying to store them as well.

It appears you and I also have the same amount of OCD when it comes to our boats!

Why not just cruise around with the fenders hanging over each side of the boat?

What size fenders? They look tiny.

also is that on a 255? I would like to see more photos of the set-up

I will admit I have beached and got out only to look and say, I guess I forgot to stow the fenders!

6.5 x 16, I have the little 255 so I scaled down the fenders to match

Yes, 255, I can post other pics once I get them off my phone if you really want to see?

I've done the same in the past. I realized it when the fender hit a wake and bounced up and almost took out a passenger. HaHa

A wise man once told me "put a lazy man on a hard job and he'll find an easier way to do it"

How did you build that with dewalt tools? I thought you had to have a Milwaukee pack out for home projects?

Really nice personal upgrade to making your boat work for you. I dig it. Thanks for sharing. I have always re-worked the layout of supplies in my boat after a few trips to find what work best. Having your wife/friends have to move or go fetch things becomes a real pain sometimes. Keeping it simple as best you can is key and this does just that.

My question is….where can I get one of those boxes?

Thats just it, milwaukee is for home DIYers, Dewalts are for the 'PROS"
I think dewalt/milwaukee is the new mustang/camaro debate--everyone has an opinion!!

Thanks. I need to see if I could obtain one.

Garage looks great and nice setup

@BUDMAN I wanted to check first, Hamlet at Howard will make you one, he only has the one mold so it may take a few weeks to gt one made around their boat production.

Work in progress, like most things, it will never actually be done!
