Where do you put your fenders
We always put our fenders behind drivers seat tied to the back .
I hate the way it takes up room there .Looking for ideas for mounts that will look good and help store .I dont want them in the cabin where we will trip over them all the time. Engine compartment is tight also .does enyone have them on there swim platform If so can you show pictures.We have a Sonic 358

Re: Where do you put your fenders
As you can tell from pics... most of the guys in SCOPE just leave them tied to the cleats for convenience. 
Seriously, when I had my 26' Sonic, I had room for two good sized fenders under the back seat, and kept 4 smaller ones under the v-berth. How often do you use your head? Just stash them in there.

Re: Where do you put your fenders
I have a 358, and keep (4) large fenders in the side compartments, (2) on each side.
I removed the front door latch on the plexiglas doors, so the rear door opens up enough for the fenders to fit.
I also have all dock lines, shore power cords, and spare engine oil, and drive oil in those compartments.
I store the anchor in the compartment next to the head. I had "top knot" make me an anchor bag that holds the anchor and anchor line, really nice set up.
I also have a (4) amp rack, life jackets, etc. stored in the same compartment.

Thanks for the idea on the doors I think that will work great.
