    Default New modification to the rig


    When I bought the TR-18 the one grip I had was the deck. Behind the butt seat, there was barely enough room for a second person, and a couple people have fallen off of it.

    Dropped the boat at my friends house, and he built me an extension and new step that turned out better then I could have imagined. Gained 17" of deck, and the step. Needless to say, it's like a different boat now. This will make it easy for 2 people to fish up front without falling over, down, or in the water.

    Very true speck. I haven't even had the boat out since I got it back and I appreciate it.

    I'm not getting any younger Beagle. I thought about having him put in a step that raises up to the deck, so when my knees go out completely I won't have to step up.

    looks like a good job.....I did the same thing to my last boat (fish and ski ) after my stepson almost broke his leg stepping in the hole....I know you will love it....don't know why boat manufacturer's can't see this problem....

    I need one of those made for my Champion. Have not had anyone fall yet but it sure would be nice to have to prevent a future accident. C and O marine has a carpeted cooler to fill in the deck for mine but they are expensive. May just sell mine and get a 19 1/2 footer with a bigger deck.

    Looks good and that give me an idea. I'll have to take a look at my boat when I get home and see if thats something that can be done on my boat.. Its only a 16 footer but I could really use the extra deck space.
