Dash/Cockpit storage for 42 Ex
 
Hey Downtown, TomTBone and all youse guys with 42 Ex's. How do store your wallet, keys, sunscreen, etc on your boat? I kinda miss the glovebox on my ol' Baja to put all that stuff in. I'm thinking about using velcro or suction cups to attach a plastic storage box to the dash below the windshield.

Sunscreen flat bottle fits in the pass handrail. Keys etc. in duffle bag in cabin, on the floor of course :D

Or get one of those gay "belt type" waist bags and hook to bottom of seat stands for easier access.

Did you get a 42? pix?

So glove boxes are not included in a 42? Damn, I thought cup holders were scarce in Fountains.

My '32 has both, and big cup holders at that. (At my doings I should add)

I sure did! 2005 staggered 525's. Same graphics as the pic on the Fountain website for the Ex. Its still on the trailer in a storage shed while the cradle is being built so no pics yet.

Good idea. I'll look around. Hopefully I won't have to shop in Montrose(Gay area of Houston) to find one!

Actually my friends with a 42 Lightning use a multi-pocket bag on their cabin floor and they know where everything is. But a glovebox IS easier.
