  I don't have a covered motor either. Still enough room for the extra life jackets on top of the foam, and they dont slide around either >:D When kids are in my boat, they ARE wearing their jackets, so I keep 4 of those ugly ass orange ones up front on the foam. Just for extras.  The throwable I usually keep on the passenger side front floor, easy to get to, and easy on the feet of whoever is sitting shotgun. The fire exstingusher is on the stringer, the paddle is on the floor or up front on the foam. The ice chest for the boat sodas in between the seats. What else do ya need?  Oh crap I keep forgeting about a horn or whistle of some sort, then I be totaly legal :o

the foam in mine goes from the hull to the deck. not a bit of room to slide anything on top of the foam. so either my jackets go back by the motor or on the floor up by the seats.

Hell the foam is still in the front of mine, and is exactly where the hell it's gonna stay >:D

it would be nice leaving it but i have zero storage space unless i want to put the lifejackets and everything back by the motor. where do you put all of your stuff if you still have the foam up there? btw i do not have a covered motor.

As many of you know i have a 19ft. Hallett Bubbledeck. My question is about the foam in the bow of my boat. Whether to remove it or not. I really want to remove it so i have a place for storage (lifejackets, horseshoes, first-aid, etc...) right now i have no place for storage. What is your guys opinion on doing this? is it safe to do so? Will it ruin the ridgidity of the bow? And lastly what methods would you guys use to remove the foam? Thanks.

« on: May 14, 2011, 09:14:16 PM »
I am going to put 1 10" sub in a truck box in front of my feet in my open bow Carrera. What would sound better, a ported or sealed box?  ???

as far as i understand it....sealed is clean bass and ported is not. but ported "hits" harder then a sealed box.

are you running a gate valve/ball valve? my guess would be open it up a little if you are running one.

Thanks, Yes teak.  I used fine foam sanding blocks, then used a teak cleaning/brightening/oiling kit from west marine.  They came out smooth and soft as a baby's ass.




can I say that?


cool man thanks. ill pick up some sanding blocks and check out that stuff from west marine. was just planning on sanding and then oiling with teak oil. will that work?


i just redid my teak swimsteps...sanded them...stained them reddish color...(red boat)....then used mcloskeys marine spar varnish on them....two coats so far.....maybe 3 or 4 more...they came out bitchin and will last for six years or more as my bro in law did his six years ago and look like he did it yesterday...i will post pics once i put them on the boat...

right on bro post some pics of it, i'd like to see what you've done.
