Just slide them down to the stern, end to end and velcro some HD foam pads on top and use as a rear bench seat using floor mounts to hold them in place, you can slide them back under the pivoting chairs when your pulling in a catch at the rear deck.
Bit late advice for you personally, but for others, I use a 1200mm long narrow esky and it fits perfectly in the cabin floor. It’s one of them orange ones from I got it from BCF years ago. It’s great as a kill tank because it’s long. My new BC will have the Engle for food and drinks and I’ll use the long esky again.
divided split-lid icey-teks? I have one, too. behind my leaning post. love icey-teks! I have a 95, and a 100, a 25, and sold a 200. Can't find the fin-nor's like those in the US right now. Or I'D BUY 4 MORE! I have 4 that are years old, and are the best inexpensive spinning reels I've ever owned.
I am constantly reorganizing my boat per the season I'm in and what I'm doing but at the same time I too wanted to slim down weight. I'm doing videos exactly like you are discussing these exact same things and I have opted for fish bags insulated fish bags I'm in the charter fishing business in Florida USA and have to remain super versatile my favorite fish bag literally came from Australia, at blue bottle fishing , the mini fish chiller bag just something to think about keeping ice fish bait sandwiches if you're not using them you can fold them up turn them into a seat cushion.
hey, thanks for the tip I will definitely check them out! yes especially in small boats like mine, using every bit of space effectively really counts.... I also reorganise each trip depending on what I'm targetting. this weekend yellowtail kingfish and maybe striped marlin

I think you made the right decision choosing the larger fuel tank, if you put any ice in a kill tank it just doesn’t last … even in a glass boat. A single eski is more than enough depending on what fish you’re targeting, we fill an eski with ice and put the food and drinks in it, any fish caught go into the live bait tank then the eski at the end of the day … a decent fish goes into a fish bag and we pinch ice from the eski to keep it fresh
Hi mate i own a bar crusher and i have noticed your engine is slanting to the left or right depending on which way you are looking well my boat engine was doing the same and the steering rack seal started to leak after around 250h,s and i think it was because of the weight of the engine being hard up against the seal all the time so i now make sure the engine is center when sitting around and have had no problems after a seal change.
Hey mate, enjoy your random vids like this as I often have the same dilemmas myself.. I run a stabi 2050sc and only optioned the passenger seat with the esky rails, I went the 70l icey tek split lid as it has a smaller lid on the opening side so less needs to stick out into the deck, big enough for day trips but multiple days would look into a cooler like you were saying, I also have an esky fetish haha but I think running 180l of esky in the boat you end up spending 30 bucks a trip on ice and as we know all costs add up over time...
Nice video mate!! Good idea with the extended fuel tank👍 I’m running a stabi 2150 ht and I use the kill bin for bleeding my tuna as they get pretty messy haha! Keep up the good work👌
thanks mate, truth is I'm having some very serious physical issues which are really impacting my ability to get out fishing often, it's crushing me but hoping for better days ahead
It seems BC should customise this option a little better. Looks like an after thought. I agree if you don’t need the extra seating then get back the space by removing one. If it was me I would keep the passenger esky in its current position. The esky under the bait board may slide around and get in the way. Just my 2c worth. Love the boat, hope you catch them on your next trip. 👌 👌 👌
yep agree, that's what I've landed with. just keeping one on the passenger side.....yeah they are good, but they could have just been done a little better I believe. thanks Peter!
I've ordered the 535C (smallest BC but biggest I can fit through the garage ha ha) & got the 70 litre esky seat combo from BC. Maybe you could try that instead of the 90L ones you have? Don't have external dimensions but the internal is 31cm H x 30cmW x 67cm L
hi, I have the same setup in mine and was thinking the same thing. I have taken out the esky under the driver seat and put it between the bunks for dry storage and left the passenger one in but to be honest I've never used them to put fish in. So I'm thinking of taking them both out and putting a smaller one in for fish only using the 2 big ones when going for tuna?

Yeah I didn't drill a single hole in the boat entire time of owning. Was always going to sell so didn't want to damage

Yeah I need to look into a long narrow Esky to fit into cabin of current boat.

Ok thanks, do u mean when on the trailer? Towing?
@@BaitBallin anytime, when the steering seals are hard on full lock in any direction, I think that’s what caused the leak

hahahaha Esky fetish,
yeah for years I've watched my money melt away before my eyes!

thanks! yeah pros and cons.... nothing wrong with additional fuel though
@@BaitBallin I like your videos their production and expertise more than make up for your lack of fish/ fishing prowess
hahahaha yeah I can accept that feedback. I better catch a fish next trip then hey
@@BaitBallin I still think your content is good value, especially during covif19 .

Still thinking about probably going the tackle box seats I am looking at a 615 c
I've now removed both of mine. one sitting up in cabin only. you should probably do it for resale value to be honest even if you don't use them.
@@BaitBallin I take a lot of gear when I go out hard to deal with 3 boxes loaded currently
Hey mate i have a chiller bag it holds 4 bags of ice which stay frozen all day and it folds up for easy storage
yeah I bought one once but it got all mouldy. will prob get another before tins season shortly !

That's great, I've put them back in tbh. A bit big, but you need them to access rocket launchers
Just go with some rockets

I've just taken them both out and put a single 60L under passenger side. way more room and 60L is all I need really...
