They’re open at the bottom. They drain on to the deck.

I gotta find some with drains...or 1" rail mounts. But I'd prefer to mount them in the deck and rest them on the rails.

Gemlux and Boat Outfitters should have some, but cost is crazy.

Pecking away at loose ends while I work towards getting a motor and trailer, but with the bow deck complete, I think 12.5% of the boat is 100% complete.

Can you get railblaza fittings in the USA? Good for when you might want to relocate a rod holder.

https://www.railblaza.com/

I've stolen two stainless holders off the donor boat, and along with four railblaza fittings/rod holders and some plywood/glass holders should be fine. Total cost under $100.

"I think 12.5% of the boat is 100% complete." :lol: :lol: :lol:

Reminds me of "Christine" for some reason. Are you pushing the boat around the neighborhood by any chance?
There are only two seasons in Vermont: boating season, and boat-building season.

No, but often making motor boat noises in the garage. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hinges are 2" Sea Dog butt hinges. I started with friction piano hinges, but had a hard time getting the margins straight enough to make the hatch fit in the hole with a tolerable margin around the edge. Not watertight, but probably splash resistant.

Hey now! :lol:

In "Christine", a kid was rehabing an old car, but because the car was haunted, all he had to do was push it around the neighborhood at night and it would rejuvenate itself, but not in a logical pattern. E.g. half the front bumper would be brand new and the other half would still be old and rusty. So, like 12.5% was 100% complete. Like your boat, "Jenny's New Kitchen".
