2008 - Boat extra features

2008 - It was my investment year...a boat to go for a ride on the ocean and do spearfishing when the ocean allows to do it.



I bought this one that you can see on the picture below:



As you can see it's just a simple boat nothing like a yacht...
but it does the main role...floats on the water!

Actually boats like these one are also used to support big yachts owners when they need agility like get in shallow waters or access land easier.



I guess it's "almost" the same of a spare tire in a car trunk:





My investment budget was possible just for the "Spare tire"...so I decided to do some improvements on it:



Multifunction box: Seat; Radio; Storage.




Red: Speakers
Blue: 2 x 12V Batteries
Green: Radio

Also It has two separated divisions:
- Front: for the ropes and anchor
- Back: for the life jacket; extinguisher; first aid...and other stuff

The following pictures show the final results of the Box designed first on Solid Works:


Assembling all the pieces together


Inside of the orange "circle" you can see the Horn button:
Traffic jam can also occurs on the water!


The Box on the boat with a lot of spearfishing stuff arround because we were three on this day doing spearfishing.


I also decided to install a triple 12V plug to charge cellphones or GPS. The switch buttons on the left are the batteries input. When one goes down you switch to the other one and recharge later at home when you get back.
