So I couldn’t pass up reeds sale price of 629.99 on the otter XT resort and ended up buying one today after two hours and a few beers later setting it up I’m wondering what else I can do with it I already have an idea on lighting but would like some new ideas for add ons
I guess the must haves are going to be the hyfax, cover, hitch and rod holders. But I don’t really call them mods. As far as the best mods I’ve done is added strip lights on all the poles wired to a box with switches. You can find lights on Amazon for pretty cheap. The last ones I got were $12 and you are able to use it them on two bars. I went all out an have the front one on a dimmer switch. I’d also recommend some type of coat hangers for the back bar.
Line the tub with a single sheet of HD black plastic. Then set in some PVC pipes for anticipated electrical runs. Then insert some boat tackle storage boxes with flip tops, then set in a few different sized pails with black sheet plastic around those. Add anything else you want to ‘mold’ into the tub as you will then fill the voids with expanding marine foam. The buckets can then be removed and you will have recesses for the real bait and fish pails you will use.
Flush trim the top of the foam and cover with light plywood or some other light decorative top. Mold in rod holders, battery boxes, wire in usb ports for charging things, mold in a spot for your heater, etc.
Why line black plastic in the tub before you pour? Yep, so it will all lift out for drainage or if you want to pour a new mold system another time.

This is awesome!
That does sound sweet, I think I’ll do a test run on my quickflip 1 or quickflip 3 then try it on the new otter
