7 High-Impact Boat Projects You Can Do in an Afternoon
Highlights
Improving Storage and Organization
To reduce clutter, you can install 'off-the-shelf' glove boxes to stow keys and phones, or mount under-gunwale rod holders. These rod holders are versatile, serving not only for fishing gear but also for storing boat hooks, deck brushes, and light poles. For pontoon owners, replacing unused pop-up changing rooms with fold-away storage tables is a quick, direct-fit upgrade.
Convenience and Technology Upgrades
Modernizing your boat with a waterproof wireless phone charger is a manageable task, with many options available that require only minimal drilling and basic wiring. These chargers can be mounted on dashboards or consoles, providing a clean solution for keeping devices powered while on the water.
