I have a good fibreglass one, but have never seen any similar ones for sale. very odd that they are not easy to buy as they are extremely good.

How about a teak baitboard ? ;D

Hard to get good glass ones except from the boat builders who dont miss u on price.

Glass ones always look spiffy with some polished perforated stainless wrapped around the sides and back.

gday opti,
i have been following your fitout - awesome job.
you are obviously pretty handy so maybe would consider building one similar to mine? I had it custom built out of starboard. any cabinetmaker could do it also. the huge storage tray is what i really appreciate for a day's fishing. everything is always right there where you need it.
it is so handy having drawers. 1 for pliers / knives etc etc etc, and 1 for bait to keep it out of the sun.
this one is removable - the legs sit in vertical rod holders, as I sometimes fit a rear lounge backrest across the transom when we are family boating and not fishing.
anyway just another option for you.

What make you think PM Marine are out of business Dave?

They are still around mate and building plenty of EVO's.

I was in there only a couple of weeks ago, and will be heading back for a factory tour/bbq soon.

BTW, did you get my reply to your pm re rod holders?

i sent them 2 emails and got no reply,i didnt realise pm marine was evo boats,anyway i called them spoke to a young bloke who said the big board was 450 ,but he would have to get the boss to ring me back ,i never got the call.
in the meantime adam from nautek pm'd me and is supplying me the large haines hunter board,off the patriot,with water proof led lights and switch:P .this was my first pick so it all worked out well in the end,i just couldnt be bothered making any more stuff for this boat ,i just want to finish it,if you know what i mean.thanks for your help guys
