Parker Storage Ideas?

[TMURPH]

Hello all,
I recently took delivery of my first Parker. A 2801 CC and so far I really love it.. I bought the boat knowing that storage was going to be a challenge for things like tackle, life vests, etc.. Other than inside the center console, there really isnt any other storage on the boat. So I am looking for any ideas and suggestions to what you all have done aftermarket to deal with this. I was considering adding a coffin box or I might even have the from seat removed and have a seat/coffin box doen in fiberglass as an extension of the console. Alos looking for anything that has worked for improving the storage are inside the console..

Any and all ideas are greatly appreciated...

Thanks
TM

I still haven't found a good spot for a knife/plier holder out on deck. I bought one years ago in Parker off white and never mounted it so far.
Adding wide spread double hooks was something that worked out very well. The rain gear hangs well and life jackets too.

I also glassed in a board on the inside of the console to very easily mount electronics to with out putting hole into the console

PFD's go in a mesh net under the t-top. Frees up space in the console. Bumpers and misc things that can get wet go in forward seating. Dry bag with foul weather gear in the console along with a bunch of 5 gallon buckets holding cast nets among other things. Throw ring and rope on the back of leaning post. Knife/pliers holder back on the transom near the cutting board/killing floor. No great ideas here, just try to make do with space I have. Now when the wife and friends gets on board, all bets are off. Kayak, SUP, beach chairs, multiple beach bags, and snorkel gear. Not to mention coolers. Come to think of it, I think I need a 28.

Tackle is where I struggle. Also constantly moving around ditch bag location.

My buddy has that boat and put a car storage on top of the T-top. Under the T-top get that net. They make different sizes.
