    Ranger 205vx storage

    I just bought a 205 Vx dual console and I’m looking for ideas or pictures of how folks have set up tackle storage in the center bow compartment, or any compartment for the matter. Appreciate any advice.

    Found a picture of mine.
    They say the 205 is very similar to the 520DVX

    Looks very similar to the 205. Do you have the cases packed in any type of holder, or are they tight enough in the compartment to keep them from moving.

    No holder, just on edge.
    But I did install a 3/8" rod about 5 " from bottom, running port to starboard. That way if I want to take out half of palano cases I can, and they have something to rest against.
    If that makes sense to you. I will be uncovering the boat Saturday, so I can take more pictures, if you like.

    Yeah I’m pretty sure I understand what you did. If it’s no trouble I would appreciate a picture of how you mounted the rod.
