Fitting fibreglass seat boxes to an Arran 16 fishing boat

09 January 2017

The above picture is of a new boat with the walk through deck arrangement.
There is a seat box on either side of the boat which you can sit on as is or you can fit a swivel base and seat to it.
The box is foamed to give even more buoyancy.
The below pics are of a customers boat which I’m converting over for him.First I had to remove the seat and an old homemade centre storage box.Also the control box had to be removed as it was in the way as was the old bilge pump.
I just pulled on the old centre box and it came away with little effort.
Ive started to scribe the new boxes into the shape of the hull.It doesn’t need to be an exact fit as its getting fibreglassed in place.
