    Need some ideas

    the boat I am in the process of getting has a little head in the Center Console. The head has little shelves going around all 4 sides. What I would like to build or have made is a tri-fold bed/shelf that would sit on the those ledges. It would need to be made out of that white heavy marine plastic ( don't know the name) with stainless hinges. It also needs to be able to support a small child. My thought is that it could be made into a little cot for Riley for those early morning trips or if she wants to take a nap. When not in use it could be follded and put up out of the way. Any ideas or other suggestions?

      Starboard lumber is a common name for the material and its not cheap.

      Only place I know of to get a big piece 4'x8' is down in kemah.

      This site has several sizes http://www.rivermarinesupply.com/xca...ne_Lumber.html

          Thanks. I think it is going to have to either be a bi-fold or a tri-fold. I hope not to clutter this area up to much. The boat has a lot of storage else where. I really want to keep this clean and have a nice place for riley to lay down and take a nap. with the bunk in place I can store things on the bottom. Also going to hang a few hooks for life jackets to be hung I think. I can't remeber the exact demeinsions but it is pretty roomy.

          This storage unit is huge. has area to hold 2 5 gallon buckets and a lot more room. Also rod storage, storage in T-top, Leaning Post, and another big storage area in the back. two baitwells, Livewell and fishcooler.

              Yeah. Poor dad took the back seat to Gypsy. She is wanting to take Gypsy to show and tell and having a heck of time telling her no. She says that she is small eoungh to go into the class room and she will tell Gyspy not to poop.LOL.

              Going to get up Tawakani sometime this summer. Hopefully in June.

                  Brandon, that is one sweet boat!
                  Give me a shout when you come to Tawakoni, I've fished that lake for sand bass and stripers since 1977. It's only about 40 miles SW of my house. Another lake that can be really good is Cooper about 20 miles north of my house; we can hit whichever one they are biting on the best at the time. Give me some advanced notice and I'll even put in for time off work.

                              I talked to several guides here and got there advice on what they would have. took a little bit of this and that. It came pretty much loaded. It was a demo boat that they took to all the boat shows etc... has about 180 hrs on it but it comes with a like new warranty. It is a used boat but looking at it you wouldn't know.
