Does anyone know where to get those fender holders that are mounted in the bilge, and you just slide the fender in when there not in use? I have seen them on some boats and would be interested in adding some to my boat.

Most are custom made out of Star board or something similar,Get a big hole saw or jig saw and cut them out. The boat builder may have a template for your boat if they did them on your style boat before but I doubt it.

I had them in my hustler, I would not recommend them, mine broke into little pieces from running the boat hard. and it is a pain to work on the motor with those in there.

West marine has some Stainless steel ones that you can mount where ever you want. It's like a heavy wire basket. When they are in your way, you simply lift the holder out of it's braket to remove.

I had two custom sets made, but only used one set in my Tiger. I will post a photo this weekend and would sell on set . Mine are made out of alum and I had one mine pwd coated blue the other set is still alum.
