Sinks in performance boats
 
How many people out there with perfromance boats with a sink actually use them. If anyone on this site took there sink out i would be curious about what they did with the space where the sink was. My 35Lightning has two sinks in it and i have absolutely no use for either one of them. Just looking for ideas thanks.

I use my sink to hold a big damp rid. Stabbed a hole in bottom and allow moisture to drain right out. I've dumped I've from cooler in there after a weekend as well. As for the actual water/faucet. Haven't used it once.

How about for the tax write off. It is my understanding that if you have a sink, toilet, bed, and a stove(even a camping stove) then uou can write your boat off as a second home.

i believe you have to spend two weeks on it to qualify for a second home. i dont think a sink has anything to do with it.

mine has a porti potty and nothing else. less weight, less to break, never wished it had a sink, stove, tv or whatever.

I went to great pains to add a sink to my Outlaw. The wife and I overnight on the boat a fair amount and the sink is a nice creature comfort. Now we just need a comfortable mattress for the V berth. :)

The tax law says it must have sleeping, bathroom and cooking facilities to qualify as a second home. That is all. There is no time usage requirement.

BTW, no I don't use my sink except to throw some wet rags or trash into.

4" memory foam mattress top from Wal-Mart. Cut to fit the V. Best $100 I ever spent on the boat.

Mine had a sink in it. I took it out and put a slam hatch in it. Plan was to build a cooler to fit in the cupboard that could drain through the drain hole in the boat. Never got around to building the cooler.
