[QUOTE="baltimus, post: 368112, member: 10260"] The most recent additions I have made to the boat are hinges, magnetic latches and stain. I need to add something a little more robust for the rod box, but what I have has been working.

I can store lures, extra fish-finder, and hide unsightly wires with the face-plate.
