Looks good mate, once you get a storage tray below it will be perfect!

The drains are a good idea and i'll be sure to have some on mine and as Corry pointed out, some hoses would be good too.
Phewy, that table looks great and all, but I think it would look out of place on my tub
shane , no probs mate as was said above a lip would only damage knive edges
next thing to do is a couple knive sheaths , one on each side , and tackle storage under
cheers

... i only work to support my fishing addiction.....
Ah the beauty of leaving it to an expert....
Big shelf underneath with a lip to stop anything rolling back out.
Sunken area at the back to keep all sorts of crap out of the way but close at hand.
Rod holders to keep rods up and out the way but with the reels still within reach for access to drags etc when rigging and baiting up.
Best of all - come summer I just unbolt it and stick it in the garage leaving a nice clear transom for "real fishing".
You're a genius Col...

Nice setup, Heaps of storage under that thing
Shane
This unbolts from the Webster to make it a freshwater casting boat when i'm stuck at home away from the salt
Old piccie but you get the idea...
Two ten litre storage boxs underneath, the one thats not in it'll hold a couple a blocks of pillies (or one and squid, tuna fillets, prawns etc), now has knife storage down the left hand side (two thin cutting boards rivetted together round three sides holds heaps a knives), lip gaff etc as well. Anchor light folds down outa the way etc...There's also three more angled, braced rod holders on the back you can't see
Looks good. Are they elastic straps on the front to hold the storage boxes in?
Shane
Shane. take care that you can still see the motor, when you instal a baitboard.

What part of the motor do I need to be able to see?
Shane
Heres mine, not brilliant but im still working on it. Drainage is my problem, along with the big friggin hole i cut in the wrong spot!! . I do love the rod holders and the tray underneath. I find the board is a good height too, i hate them too high and if they are too low on some boats can hit the motor when its trimmed all the way up.
I think heath has some good pics of his old one on www.gcfishing.com

Shane, sorry mate I'm on the southside at wello point but if you want to have a look any time pm me. One other point is to make sure it is at a nice comfortable working height so that you are not bending and reaching or having to lift your elbows and arms if it is to high. Makes cleaning fish and filliting etc at the end of the day mch easier and less of a pain.
Add rod holders. Never can have too many
Drain holes small enough so a stubbie will not go down
A measurement place
Knife holder
No metal at the front to blunt the knife
Good luck
Angla
This is mine (cruisecraft)
Thats a good idea with the lift up cutting board.
