 front storage
Did a quick search but didn't come up with anything. Let's see some pics of your front storage set up. Playing with boat layouts and how I want one done and just want to see what others have for ideas. I'm probably gonna have a 6-7 ft deck and want to put bulk storage (life jackets, etc), gas tank and TM batter hatch, and a gun box all in the front. Let's see what you got!

 Re: front storage
Thanks for the pics. I like it! I'm thinking I will have a sealed front deck with the gas and a battery in one. That way the boxes can go all te way to the floor

 Re: front storage
My main bow storage goes to floor and under gun boxes. Gun boxes extend inti extended deck and catchall is in extended deck...gas tank under extended deck with room for battery and extra storage.....

 Re: front storage
My apologies then. I thought it was a roundabout way of saying that it would suck to have a sealed front deck/storage. But you are saying that sealed doesn't end up being/staying sealed?

 Re: front storage
I'm saying they called dry storage but I bet no one here truly has a dry storage. I've put gaskets and everything and it would do good on the water for the most part but spraying it off it would still get wet. Hell my bay boat isn't 100% dry, my scully damn sure ain't dry, and my bass boat I just sold was bout the dryest I ever had and wasn't 100% dry

 Re: front storage
dont put your battery and gass in the same sealed compartment its a slim chance but it could go boom

 Re: front storage
The other issue is u dont want too much weight in the front end. Fine balance..........also will depend on the motor size you go with.

 Re: front storage

 Re: front storage
Oh and battery and tank under an extended deck makes it a lot easier to get to and work with
