210 Casting Platform Storage

[lazergeek]

Those of you with the 210 and the casting platform (Bow Filler), where are you storing the deck pieces when not in use? I originally was finageling into the side storage compartments, but that got old after the 2nd trip out and I have been since just leaving in the center console. Does anyone have a better place or trick for stoing these?

If you can help me find someone who still sells and ships them, I’ll definitely help figure out a good way to store them!

Did you check with Cycle Springs? They were making for JBP and also sell themselves. Call and ask for Jimmy

I leave the front piece in all the time and store the bigger piece in the centre storage compartment - I have the cushion on it so store it cushion down to stop it from banging around.

will do. thanks.

I'm interested in one of these as well, let us know what you find out!

They have them in stock. All in, shipped, with cushions included…about $1400. Their number is 727.771.1211, ask for Parts. I’ll spend a few hours pretending to weigh the pros and cons of a very expensive and unnecessary purchase before i pull the trigger.

Yeah I bought my boat from them and when they told me the price I about fell over and did not buy it. Then I turned around and spent about that much on trim tabs....

After the maiden voyage, I think the platform will stay in place 95% of the time, just like @Yammi . A winter project will be trying to figure out if I can put some straps on one of the walls in the center console to hold the aft section when I'm not using it.

btw, initial view....worth every painful penny.

I had a snap strap pull a screw our the platform on mine after leaving in, I started stowing everytime after that. it wedges nicley between the side of the center consol and my portapotti.

Most of the time the casting platform lives in the shop.. when on the water the platform and the cushions lay on top of the dry bags when they are not installed.

Just added 2 screws and a bungee cord today. To stop it form dinging around, I put the foam side of the front of the table down, and also added a piece of stick foam behind it - or you could just leave the cushion on.

While I was at it, figured out how to stow my larger trolling rods as they are too long to store up and down and bang around. Simply adding a buckle. Its on the right hand side.
