HUGE BOAT DECK UPGRADE!! - DIY Deck Extension with TONS of storage.
We give Nate's Crestliner Raptor 1750 a big upgrade with a HUGE back deck extension with a ton of storage, a good portion of which is hanging bait storage for large musky baits. To make the hanging bait storage, we used 2.5" PVC downspouts pieces. Hopefully this video will be helpful when you decide to make this upgrade to your boat!
IMPORTANT NOTE: I failed to mention in the video that the middle divider that both lids rest on was made by gluing two pieces of the 5/8" marine grade plywood together to create a wider platform for the lids to rest on where they meet in the middle.
Here is a list of the materials we used in this project (prices are approximate):
-1 4x8 ft sheet of marine grade plywood (5/8") from Menards ($65)
-Vinyl and Carpet to match the existing interior were acquired from Quam's Marine ($155)
-Aluminum Hinge 6 ft, 4" open width, 0.060" thickness, 1/2" knuckle, 0.120" pin diameter ($18)
-Stainless Steel 10-24 bolts, 1 1/4" and 2" long ($20)
-Stainless Steel 10-24 Nylock nuts ($6)
-Stainless Steel #10 x 3/4" screws ($20)
-Angle aluminum 1/16" x 3/4" ($16)
-T50 staples, 3/8" for the vinyl and 1/2" for the carpet ($10)
-3M Super 77 spray contact adhesive ($11 x 3)
-Perko 1091DP1BLK surface mount lock & latch ($38 x 2)
-10 ft x 2.5" PVC downspout cut to size ($9x9)
Approximate cost of Project: $500

Here's a previous video we did about the deck extension in my boat and some other ideas to consider for extra bait storage: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qn2MzI-zY87QZ8Y.html
Goes to show how anyone can upgrade their rig with a little bit of ingenuity & elbow grease. Awesome walk-through! Hopefully this will inspire others to explore possibilities with their rigs! Top notch!

Angling Anarchy I’m not sure if you are a walleye fisherman, or if you are familiar with the area Ocanto, I’m from Appleton Wisconsin and I am 98% sure you guys are based out of Wisconsin. But I went walleye fishing today and we caught about 30 walleye, biggest was a 29”. Along with a surprise catch with a 38” pike. We aren’t keeping the walleyes because I don’t like keeping them during the run. But it’s a nice fun day on the water catching a bunch of fish!

Looks really good! The only additional pro tip I have is to glue the wood edge with epoxy or waterproof wood glue and use a deck sealer. Marine grade plywood isn't actually treated so it will still absorb water.. The ply is glued with waterproof glue...

Jim Spisak I used the exact same bolts that the manufacturer uses to bolt the rest of the original decking to the boat, so no more than anywhere else in the boat. After awhile, they basically "sink" into the carpeting and you can't really see them.

Bryan Gosnell Glad you enjoyed the video! We got the hinge from S and S Hinge Company. We ordered off of their website and I will include the specs for it at the end of this message. Be aware that shipping is a little steep. Here are the hinge specs: Aluminum Hinge 6 ft, 4" open width, 0.060" thickness, 1/2" knuckle, 0.120" pin diameter ($18) You may be able to choose two shorter lengths to span the 84" space that you have. If you have any other questions you can always send me a message on Facebook on the Angling Anarchy page. Hope this helps!
