Fountain question
 

I have an 88 29ft Spitfire. The boat had new carpet installed in the cabin before I purchased it. Question is; Was there an anchor locker beneath the bed from factory that might have been covered up with new carpet??? I don't want to cut carpet only to find no access. Any help or knowledge would be awesome. Hate not having a secure place for anchor and rope.

my 88 29 has no locker. we put it under the back seat. its a pita. but what can u do?

Thanks for the info. That really sucks being that my back seat is filled with amps, sub, and Acc batteries.

Sawzall

:eekdrop:

sawzall, milk crate, and some cardboard should work!!!

Are you busy the weekend after Miami Boat show? Sounds like you have it all planned out perfect. LOL

Post your thread were you took a sawzall to te cabin....

Just thinkng there is plenty of unused space under the bed that could be used, once opened up. The SAWZALL might be a little extreme :)

But then storing an anchor and rope under the bed would seem really inconvenient

Was that you or some one else I am thinking cut their cabin to make more storage?

How about this?






Sure it is UGLY, but it is after all a 25 year old boat where the parts are worth 4 or 5 times the value of the whole thing.

AND, I don't have to fight a heavy mud laden anchor into the boat from having been anchored all day in a breeze where the flukes dig in so far you have to have two guys help pull it out of the mud.

Does not intrude into the cabin, I have 70 ft of 1/4" chain in the bow in front of the mirror wall that has been converted into an chain pocket complete with drain overboard. Let me tell you that doing fiberglass work up in the v-berth to create the watertite pocket for the chain was NASTY. Deck mounted Windless will pull with 700 lbs force, so I put reinforcing under the deck to spread the load. Glass work was the worst, next was running No 6 AWG from the batteries in the back up to the windless where you couldn't see them (in the deck to hull joint area). Had to loose the top mounted cleat, and then split up the forward nav lights (I did cheap out on the lights however).

Not me.
