Hey Guys,

A few things that always bugged me about my boat is the lack of a pass. side foot rest and a place to store a few small things. Well, this is what I came up with. Be honest, tell me what you think.

I wanted to keep any permanant scaring to a minumum so I used 3 1/4 bolts, through bolted into the cabin. Pic1 & 2.

I wrapped a piece of carpet around the bottom and back to keep the deck and bulkhead from getting scratched up. pic3

I added the top piece. pic4

I hinged it to create a small compartment. pic5

Finished! pic6

My passengers always complain about not having a good foot hold. Also, having a place to throw a wallet, phone, keys, etc. is nice.

Looks good, and nice idea of storage.
In my 24 the footrest was made of pvc board, glued to the deck and wrapped in pirelli tile.

That will work!!!

Dave - looks great!! Simple, clean, and mutli-functional - I love it! You now get the dubious McGuyver title passed from me to you......

Dave, Looks great. I have thought about that for my 24. Now I can copy yours.

I added a grab bar on the side, I had a number of comments that there is no way to hold on as a passanger...

Ya, the grab handle is next on the list.

Nice Job Dave, Did You Ever Get Around To Lowering The Bolster Bottoms.

The foot rest looks like a great addition for when you ride sitting.
How about when you ride standing? Will it be in the way?
We do run standing in the rough; about 25% of the time.
I had copied an idea from JMK and added a swing down step. The step works to help get onto the deck and gives the passenger a foot hold when running.
As for a passenger side handle, I would like to add one too.

Not yet!
