Nice half a morning outing to fill up the freezer whilst the mahimahi are around. Good sized cool box is probably the next project. Boat going well. Was happy with the fuel economy. 20lts in 3 hrs trolling at 1900 rpm wasn’t bad.

Trolling small sailfish lures with a strip bait. Picked up a few followers with a chunk.

I’ve built my cooler seat from polyurethane foam sheets glued to plywood. I used a denser foam (100kg per cubic metre or 6lb per cubic foot). Since it’s a heavy foam I just glassed the inside with double bias and faired. Taped the inside corners with woven. It seems stronger than commercial coolers.

Thanks One Way - I was thinking along similar lines.
