[QUOTE="Scott F, post: 447851, member: 23059"] Before you dig in and make a lot of modifications on storage and decking, I'd live with the boat for a while. I've been a boat owner for 30 years so I know what I want in a boat and I've found everybody has their own version of what works for them. In my case, for my new boat, I didn't want tons of storage. I found that I don't use all the storage I have in my old boat and those boxes take up a lot of room, and add weight. Most DIY storage compartments are not as water tight as possible so anything stored in them can get moldy if left inside for any length of time. I never keep fish so an aerated live well was not needed. I also don't leave my rods in the boat because of the potential mold problems and for security reasons, so big rod storage compartments were not going to be in my boat. If you find you want all the storage possible, spending time in the boat will give you an idea where to position hatches and compartments that fit the way you fish and use the boat. Don't be in a hurry. Taking your time figuring it out will save you time and money. [/QUOTE]
