Well....I am going to be more organized this year, so I made this center console for my fish trap, will fit nicely between the 2 seats, or if I take a seat out it will slide over and still will be beside me, made from 7/8" white oak, hardboard on bottom, 9 1/2"wide", 2 cup holders, and four other compartments to put what-ever in. A cleat on each end holds it secure over edge of tub and seat rail. Give me your thoughts. Thanks Smitty.

Wish I had a fraction of your imagination and ability smitty. I will be copying this to a certain degree. Thanks for sharing.

Looks Great man. Is it made out of wood? Pretty heavy?

It weighs approx. 2lbs., cutting out all the compartments lightened it up alot, hardboard on bottom weighs next to nothing.

I got 2 coats of spar urethane on it, that should protect it for a good while.

Very sharp! I can't believe it is less than 2Lbs! Great job!

Looks good!

Now all you need to do is make it the top of a rod storage box below it.

I thought what the heck ....so I put a third coat of spar urethane on it.....now that should do it. Thanks for all the comments everyone gave......Smitty

Smitty - how did this work for you

I am just going to use a 1 x 10 piece of pine - have 2 new stainless copy yeti cups so need to cut two holes for them to start

Very nice, consider a cribbage board in the middle? Nevermind, that would mess with the fishing...
