    210 or 198 front storage

    I have never seen inside the front center compartment of a 210 or 198. I'd like to see some pics to get an idea of how many 3700 and/or 3600 boxes can be arranged inside.

    Damn, not the 198. Only 3' of usable space.

    My center compartment in my 198 holds enough boxes that if I can't catch fish with what it carries, I'm going home.

    No doubt, I go through my boxes when I'm bored with the intention of removing stuff I never use and only end up adding more to the boxes from my overstocked stash.

    As stated, the 210 is HUGE! There are 12 showing in the pic below. In addition there are at least 6 worm bags and a small tackle bag with all my crappie stuff in it and still room. The 8 boxes you see in the bottom take up less than 1/2 the length and 1/2 the depth of the compartment.

    Champion Information and OEM Links for more Champ info

    ... scroll down to Part #s for Elite Series. The part #s for Pro Tackle Organizer (port & starboard) are listed. Click on them for pics. I'm thinking they may be used in other Stratos models, so could still be available.

    Best storage for a boat in the over 20 and under 21 foot range on the planet imo.
