storage

boy, it is quiet in here. has anyone thought about or done, making their midcabin bench seats storage friendly. is it because of the stringers that this area is not utilized? any thoughts? maybe some boom speakers there?

Fireman,
I have thought about it. Makes a lot of sense for towels and clothing, lightweight stuff. Our boats don't like carrying weight in front of the step, so I would leave the heavy stuff like anchors, tools, etc. in the center storage.
Regards,
Steve

Fireman,
Chris (CB-BLR) and i have talked a little about using the area behind the cabin bench seats. i haven't taken the screws that hold the cover panel up top out yet to see what it would take but i think that would be a great spot for life jackets or (as chris mentioned) a wakeboard

Steve,
have you removed the base of the cabin bench seats? would you have to actually cut the floor to expose a storage area?

There is really not much room under the seat but there is a bit behind the back. I have the amps for my stereo mounted to the back of the starboard seat.

Ned,
No I haven't but I don't think it would be too hard. Just cut inboard of the stringer. Carpet the storage area. There you go.

I've opened up the seat bases in both Heats I've owned and there is a surprising amount of storage under there. The stringers don't get in the way at all. After cutting the opening I got some matching carpet and used contact cement to lay it in with - great place to store towels and food.

Ned, Sorry haven't been on the board in a while. I'll shoot a couple pics next time I'm in the boat and send them over.
