Thanks for your comment, that stuff next to the coke can is dried mango after it's been originally soaked in sugar!

New ballast bags are all up in my heaters business. Didnt realize these bags took up all my under seat storage. Decided to build a box to separate heater from ballast. The divider panel was the start of it, used CAD(cardboard aided design) to determine shape of the hull . From there I traced the design onto a sheet of HDPE and cut it out. After a few test fits I had it ready to rock and hit the edges with a roundover bit to make them nice and happy. Added some brackets and screwed it in place. Not bad for an hours work. And now my heater is protected from the ballast bags. Dont need to be popping any holes in them.

Where did you get that big piece of hdpe? That does look good. Does it make your bag do anything funny on the end when filled?

Have not tried it when filled. Yesterday was the shakedown run for the new boat and that wakemakers bag was all over my heater and prompted this project I hope this keeps the bag off the heater and away from sharp edges. I bought a 4x8 sheet of hdpe this morning at a place in town called polymer shapes. They do cnc routing and fab work with plastics. Had a custom windscreen for a Centurion in their showroom so they may be my go to when I do my windscreen project. As is the bow filler cushion worked pretty well as a windblock yesterday. Building a two piece top is the next project so I can store my anchor in there

Water was 68’. Air was 78’ and slightly overcast when we started at 3:30. Melton Hill Lake in Knoxville.

@mxmark4 - this was Blaine’s 2x trip this week. We talked about getting a schedule going for weekly rides.

I will get my boat going this weekend. Hopefully. Same words out of my mouth the previous two weekends.
