Default Organizing a 16' Aluminum fishing boat--suggestions?

wrote in message
oups.com...
Thinking up some solutions for organizing a 16' 4-bench aluminum
fishing boat--stuff like where to strategically store vests, tackle,
etc. Obviously, plastic bins come to mind for stuff like spare parts,
emergency equipment, etc. For commonly used items (pliers,
knives,tackle, etc), I can't use those suction cup caddies (rough
inside surface)--maybe some plastic c-clamps and cargo netting...

I'm not experienced enough to be drilling holes in my boat (yet), so if
any experienced angler has a tip or two on creative storage/fishing,
I'm all ears.

Thanks!


Plano and a few other companies make waterproof storage boxes, with lids
sealed with an O-ring. You might consider one of these for high-value items
like cameras, handheld radios, etc., and stuff that cannot be allowed to get
wet, like your first aid kit. I found one at Gander Mountain that had a lift
out tray for small items, and a carrying handle on the top. Nice. And, the
box itself has enough indentations. It's the orange one on this page:
