Tackle center under ladder on the Billfisher

[Nomad]

I think there is some wasted space under the ladder leading up to the helm that would be great for a small tackle center with drawers that open to the centerline of the boat. I store my trash can there now and I'm sure I could find a spot for that!

I like it as a large trashcan spot outside.

I like it as a large trashcan spot outside.

I'm with Malu Lani. 5 gallon bucket cut on one side so it doesn't interfere with the old man going up to the bridge.

Agree with trash can storage. On some boats it might be a good spot to store life size rubber dolls?

I use the area under the stairs for a trashcan also.

I have been considering a tackle center under the seat which would require changing the hinged portion of the cabin opening to a sliding forward configuration or lift off type.
Did I mention I have already raised my seat 2"?
IMHO raising the seat is the best improvement for the time and $$$.

Guys, are you talking about one of these?

[Malu Lani]

Thats clean a deep drawer on the bottom would be nice for rod belts.

I rebuilt that tackle center, redoing the wood drawers and replacing the old top with a corian solution, but that is a stock option from Blackman guys. It came with the boat.

That's sweet! Is it lockable?

[Wizard]

Doesn't lock.. guess that could be an issue if on a dock with no one watching your boat 24/7 or full cover to keep eyes from noticing.
