Interesting project bobber.....something like this perhaps?
Lots of glass, good visibility. Will you be doing the fabricating yourself? You could do a mock up with cheap luan plywood to tweek the design to your liking. Good Luck

Gonna try to get my skiff into my buddy's barn at some point this winter to redo much of the oak trim. Possibly sand and paint the hull.
I'm also re-powering this winter. Already sold the Yammi 2 stroke and have a nice four stroke sitting on the stand waiting to go on.

I'd say yes, looks like the bunks are sticking out the back to make up for it,,, weak!

I needed drink holders...used some leftover 1/2" pvc.
Picture on left is the prototype to make sure it is functional.

I might drill some small holes to hang lures from.

I want to build a fold up bait and tackle/fillet table to go in my transom well area next.

This will fold down when not in use. Still have to cut some slots for pliers and knife. Nice working with the PVC material, don't have to paint it.

Great idea,how does it stay locked in the up position?
