Storage is important when you're out on a boat. Extra supplies, snacks, and fishing gear can make all the difference when you need a little extra help while out on the water. As you shop for fishing boats, storage is available in a number of different ways, especially on a Gheenoe boat. Check out some of the storage options available and upgrades that come with a custom Gheenoe boat.

1. Center Box

If you like the simplicity of a basic Gheenoe boat, then you could stick with a simple storage option like a center box. A center box is a fixed box that sits in the middle of the boat. The box is typically welded or screwed into the boat to prevent any movements or sliding while the boat is in the water.

The box is ideal for holding tools and extra fishing gear. You also have the option to purchase a box with two compartments. The split compartments make it easy to organize items. For example, one side of the compartment can hold food and drinks while the opposite side stores your fishing gear.

2. Seat Storage

Any seats you have installed on a Gheenoe boat can double as storage options. Cushioned seats offer comfort as you fish. Simply lift up the seat bottom to access the storage area. Depending on the size of the boat, you may have one or two seats. Each seat could have storage built underneath.

3. Raised Front Deck

On the front of the boat, you could have a raised deck installed. A raised deck fills in the boat cavity with an area to stand and sit. The inner part of the raised front deck acts as another storage area. The storage area is typically capped off with a locking hatch. The hatch is ideal for emergency storage options like a first aid kit, extra clothes, or batteries.

4. Polling Platform

A polling platform looks like a large raised canopy that is installed on the back end of a Gheenoe boat. The platform offers extra fishing options and the chance to store items as well. Polling platforms can feature hanging hooks and holders ideal for fishing poles. The open-air storage provides quick access for items and is ideal for fishing.

If you purchase a Gheenoe boat without a polling platform, you can request a custom installation to have once fitted for your boat size. After a couple of trips on your new boat, you will quickly get used to the storage options and find the best uses for your personal needs.
