Under seat storage for inflatable boat project

Recommended Posts

Hi raiders, its taken some time, but here and there I managed to finish 99% of an under seat storage for my inflatable boat so I can put my tackle boxes, soft plastics, keys, tools, and a battery in. I brought this rubber ducky just to explore and to have some fun around the bays and rivers, lakes, and to get to the sand island at Windang in summer, beat the crowds if you know what I mean. Its also easily fits in the boot of any car. I've even gone to the extent of putting a fishfinder 12v power point and lights so people can see me more better. It may be over the top but I like to building things. On days were I don't want to take the bigger boat out and just want to go along then this is good for me. My first first boat was an inflatable so I know to be careful not to get the hooks suck in it. Anyway here is the almost end result. once its completely finished I'll take photos of it on the boat itself. Hope u enjoy.

Wow, that is a very nice work ! Lights, sounder, next thing you put in is a Stereo ? You have more electronics then what I have on my boat :047:

Had to scroll through the pictures several time. What size is the inflatable? Always inflated on a trailer, or you keep it on the backseat/boot while traveling?

The storage unit is a very neat design.

Wondering how you fit a fishfinder in an inflatable.

Just wait and see, I'll post it when its 100% finished

Mmm, now that I think about it a stereo would be a good addition. :1prop: The inflatable boat is only a small 2.4m with a hard 3 piece aluminum floor. Its rolled up and put into the boot even the motor goes into the boot, only takes 10mins to set up and pack away.

Quick update, put the fish finder and transducer on there mounts, now I'll just need to put it on the inflatable. I'll be able to remove it when not in use or slide the transducer up when I approach a beach. I've also added those dinghy wheels so I can set it up in the car park and just roll it out to where I want to launch. Also made leash holders to hold the fish finder and the rod holder.
