Haha I totally agree. I'm not even focusing on the holders, just a way to mount a base to turn a crowned surface into a flat surface to secure a box to. Doesn't even have to be a dry box. I was considering mounting 2 stainless rails about 20" apart, almost like a roof rack ontop of a car. That way I could lay something flat across and bungie it down.

Hey Will, my buddy had a similar storage problem with his Necky Dolphin...A standard crate just wouldnt fit.
He built this out of a dishpan, some PVC pipe (heated and pushed on a wine bottle for the openings) and a piece of metal acrossed the part where he mounted the rod holders to add stability. With the crown yours has you may need to add something to shim up the side gaps before you strap it down. This is the best pic I could find to blow up the "crate/pan". Probably cost him less than $20. Hope it helps. Good luck. |

It sounds like all you really need to figure out is how to mount your Pelican box. It's pretty easy, just use an angle gauge (Home Depot has them) to figure out the angle of your hull, then use some plastic of an appropriate width, thickness, and length, as a spacer from your topside to being level with or just above your crown and bolt through using some 5200 or the like.
However, if your installing a battery box, you might want to think about mounting it inside the yak, to as you stated, keep the center of gravity low. |
