Geoff Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Sanfly Is the seat screwed to the floor or just loose. A friend has something similar with velcro on the bottom. This way , he can move the seat to what ever position required & it "sticks" to the floor. Also , it can be easily removed if required.

Geoff Hi Geoff Ive got black non slip rubber under each end which they use in the back of utes you can just see it in the pics if you look close at it It seems to do the job although havnt tested it yet But I might put some velcro under it just to make sure as I dont want to drill holes in it On the week end Ill put a rule bilge pump in the esky part I picked up a brand new one today for $15 off of gumtree still in the packet the guy never got round to using it as he sold his boat .....

tuffy Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Nice job Sanfly. Have you thought about Flowcoating the inside of the kill tank? Might just finish it off with a nice smooth lining. Tuffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanfly Posted August 16, 2011 Author Share Posted August 16, 2011 Hi tuffy I already asked the fibreglass place about the flowcoat and he said you carnt use it on epoxy resin But said I can mix in some white or which colour tint I wanted in with the apoxy resin and paint that on and it would do the job but I have not got enough epoxy left to finish the inside with colour So in the end storage sections I just put some grey out door mats and left the esky part as is Thanks for the idea anyway Cheers Sanfly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggytrevally Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Looks like a top idea im looking at doing something similar how water proof are the storage boxes like after heavy rain ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanfly Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 Looks like a top idea im looking at doing something similar how water proof are the storage boxes like after heavy rain ? Hi If you wanted it to be water proof you would have to have a raised lip around the opening Or the water would seep in Last month got caught out in gale force winds and took heeps of spray into the boat and didnt get any water in it But if it was left in the rain Im sure water would seep under the seat but I keep my boat under cover when not in uses any way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
