I am just about to fabricate and build a bait board for a plate alloy boat and I am interested in hearing from anyone who has found out the do's and don'ts from experience!!!!
My experience was to install 2 vertical rod holders mid ship on each side, and fabricated a basic timber board screwed to an alloy pipe with the appropriate slots. Due to the tenderness of my hull on an ordinary day in the slop this is not working for me so I am looking at setting it up over the half portafino transom. Height, width, length, drawer or not , drain???? Plenty of gimmicks out there from what I have seen but at the end of the day what do I really need??
Cheers Glenn
