Cobra Garage Door Storage Solutions

Nonpareil storage solution for your fishing rods

Give your finest fishing rods the same TLC at home that you reserve for them on your boat. The Cobra Garage Storage Rack uses your garage door as storage—a unique solution to keep your rods from being stacked up in a corner room, occupying precious space and risking damage. The Cobra rack is designed to easily clamp to a standard 21″ garage door panel, clears the hurricane/wind restraint bar and installs in minutes. Each assembly pair can hold up to 10 lbs. The assembly, made of high strength ABS manufactured in Florida, can also be hard mounted to the garage door panels or to walls and ceilings. The adjustable assembly fits the length of the equipment being stored from long beach surf rods, river rods and even garden tools. Store your rods in a safe and easy-to-access location keeping them readily available when the urge to catch that big one arises. Racks are available in 21″ (holds six rods) or 18″ (holds five rods). MSRP $30; cobrastorage.com

Hunt Yachts 32CC

The Hunt 32cc is a versatile design that combines the key attributes of a day boat with the functionality of a center console fishing boat and the added benefit of the authentic Hunt deep-V hull. The Hunt 32cc (32’1″ LOA, 10’6″ beam) features plenty of space to stow fishing rods and wakeboards, and offers forward seating for eight passengers. Powered by twin Yamaha F250 outboard engines, the Hunt 32cc runs to a top speed of 45 mph. Hunt’s innovative extension of the center console—reaching from centerline to the port rail—allows for an aft-facing, walk-in companionway leading to the interior. Because it faces aft, getting to the enclosed head, the galley and bunk/rod storage is convenient and easy. This companionway configuration is also family friendly—kids can go below in safety even when the boat is running. The extension of the console makes room for the microwave, mini fridge and counter space of the galley, while the console itself enables standing headroom in the head/shower area. A single bunk with rod stowage is tucked neatly beneath the forward seating. While underway, the extended console offers more protection than a conventional center console, and three adults can shelter behind the wrap-around windshield. The expansive flush cockpit is roomy and inviting, and the aft seat folds out of the way for access to the integral aft swim platform.
