    Am I seeing correctly that those cabinets are all molded with foam-cored fiberglass? I need to redo my tackle center and I'm trying to get away from glass over wood. I was just wondering how the factory did it.

    I think everything we saw was balsa core or just solid fiberglass (no core). Surprisingly we only found one wet spot which was the bottom of the tackle center and appeared to be compressed fiberboard or something similar. The rest of the coring we cut out was essentially in like-new condition.


    On a side note if anybody needs some hatch lids or cockpit freezer we salvaged as much as possible.

    I was mostly thinking of solid glass for mine. Thanks for the info.

    Had a few days to work on the Mezzanine this past weekend. Made some good progress on laying the 2" divinycell for the floors/walls of the refrigerated compartments




    This is the fishbox. Should be able to hold almost a 9' long fish in here.

    I know I'm a dork, but one of the things I'm most excited about is the fishbox drain. This is not the actual plug we will be using, it will be recessed so as to not be a toe grabber lol.




    The opening is 3" pvc, on the lowest corner of the fishbox and will have a fillet around it making it essentially the lowest corner of the fishbox. No more having to wait for fishbox to drain while rinsing it out!! woot woot!




    5gal buckets will be able to fit inside the lid of the fishbox, pretty excited about that too.

    Twin 6" Gaff Tubes were dry fit. These will be cut off near the house, aft of them will be a cabinet with a door. You will open the cabinet door to access the gaffs. Inside the cabinet on port and starboard walls will be hooks to hang flying gaff heads, spare harpoon darts, lines for gaffs...etc These will be able to hold almost a 10' long gaff/harpoon.





    FINALLY we will have somewhere to store gaffs/harpoons/boat hooks...etc.
