I have a small boat: 18' CC. It's really just big enough for 2-3
people to walk around. But when you start adding gear, it starts
getting in the way. I plan to add rod holders to my T-top to get
them out of the way. I'll probably put my outriggers up top as
well. Any good suggestions for efficient storage?

What make? I just want to see a picture of it. Does it have a swim
platform? I put a couple eye bolts through the back of a cooler and
it stays on the swim platform when I'm fishing. I tie it to the
back with 3/8" nylon through the lifting eyes on the boat.

It's a Seahunt 186. It does have a swim platform on both sides of
the motor. That's a good idea as, so far, that's wasted space.

Looking at pictures of the new ones, you have a lot of room at the
bow also. Do you have a cooler in front of the console? That's
usually a pretty good spot, and you can find brackets etc. at West
Marine (or from Igloo).

Coolers are great for storage!

Yes. I have a cooler there and use it for storage. I also have a cooler
behind the CC (where el Capitan sits ).

Next tip - Tell the people that come with you to bring only one bag. I've had
guys show up with four bags, one with clothes, one with food, one with drinks,
and one with tackle. Hell, sometimes you'd think we were going to be gone for a
couple weeks!
