I'm a hobby welder but pretty good at it. I couldn't imagine trying to extend a standard bow rail to stretch it into a West Coast style. The actual cutting and welding wouldn't be all that bad but the grinding/sanding/polishing the finished product to make it where the welds didn't show would...

Like this?

I really like my 36 gallon Pacific Edge set up, but I think we use bait differently here in So Cal from what you guys use. http://www.pacificedgetackle.com/category.aspx?categoryid=148&openid=148

Sweet boat. I love those outrigger mounts - I may have to borrow that idea for mine. Keep the ideas coming. I'm 6'9" and have to reach for the second row on my Rocket Launchers.

I mounted a Marinco battery charger under the starboard jump seat next to one of my batteries 7 years ago - so far so good.

Mine is an '07 and both open. It gets pretty hot in So Cal and I couldn't imagine not having the ability to open both. It can get pretty stuffy in the cabin.

Sweet! You need a kill bag.

Great video. Good to see people having a fun time. What day was that? It looked glass smooth out. We may have "Peanuts" out here but at least we only need one motor and a couple of gallons of gas to get to the fishing grounds!

I'm a big guy (6'9", #350) and I can tell you that if I sit on the gunwale by myself my 2120 lists pretty damned bad. The issue with Parkers listing at the dock is very slight, just enough to cause a small puddle to starboard. Maybe 1/4".

Get yourself a Topsider Oil Extractor. Either pull your sending unit or hook it to your supply line to your primary fuel filter and suck it all out. It only holds about three gallons at a time so it might take a few times.

Me too. No tool required.

That's what I've got on my 2120 - came that way new. West Marine has the hinges - they are called "pull apart hinge" but they must be made of gold because they are about $100 a piece. Remember not to get right-hand, left hand or they will lock together. You want two of the same type so you...

Mine too. Just enough to get a puddle in the corner. I have found if I turn the motor to where it is all the way to the port side when it it tilted out of the water it helps a little bit.

My bait tank is a 36 gallon that is fed from the bottom and can overflow either in the middle or near the top. I use the middle if I am carrying a smaller amount of bait. As the poster above said, it still leaves plenty of room to fish around. We typically use either sardines or anchovies...

I took out the useless porta-potti and a large Yeti cooler slips right in between the Vee. I got an anti-slip carpet pad that I put under it and it doesn't move at all.
