[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 36750, member: 55"] I didn't quite realize how much storage space this thing had until I stacked those lids up. Now, mind you, one is a battery hatch, and one is a fuel hatch, but the rest of the lids are for "stuff." The anchor will be tucked away in its hatch (lid uses no frame, so not pictured), and all the needed safety equipment/emergency tools/spare prop etc have a space made for them in the fuel hatch, so they won't be taking up storage space. Also, there is one storage hatch that will be under the passenger seat, that I don't have a pictured lid for, as it doesn't need a framed one. This thing rivals the storage space of my buddies 18 foot Ranger. I don't think it beats it, but it sure tries. I am fairly sure that it does beat another friends 17 foot Stratos. I forgot to post pics of my kicker bracket. It is a short piece off an overhead track system that the Postal Service used, then scrapped.

It will allow me to run my 15 inch shaft kickers on this 20 inch transom. It has 9 inches of setback by itself, and by the time I add the aluminum/plywood "transom," per se, it will have 11 inches of setback. I needed 10 inches to be able to put most Johnnyrude outboards in the under 15 range on and in the full tilt/full turn position. [/QUOTE]
