THE Portable FishHouse Modification Thread (Links, not Pics)

[Harv]

I'm glad you put together this topic. I pulled my portable out and have it in the garage and want to add some compartments in the tub. I have a Eskimo QF II with the bench seat.

1. Has anyone taken the bench seat out and replaced it with 2 seats?

2. I'm debating on whether or not to take the poles off the tub while I'm working. I know it would be easier to get to the tub; but how much of a pain will it be / is it to take them off and put them back on?

Thanks!

Harv, at the end of last season I took the back off and removed the foam from the bench on my QF2. I then used removable pedastal seat holders to mount a pair of boat seats to the aluminum bench seat base. Have not actually fished in it yet but it has to be better than those bench seats.

Glad to see some action here! I'd like to keep the direction more about links to threads about mods, than discussion about them specifically. Thanks for keeping this to the top, and please; post away if you have a link to a thread dealing with something not covered already!

love the ideas and pics, hopefully my mod will be done soon....question for those that have already done this- what is the purpose of the carpet that u put on yours, is it waterproofing? purely looks? keep from getting splinters? or just a good cover for wood? i checked some out this am but store said had no moisture barrier at all so i was wondering what the purpose was, thx

[Da Biggin]

The carpeting I mounted in mine was designed to be used as an indoor/outdoor carpet so it had a rubber backing. I installed mine for a number of reasons: Looks, Sound deminishing, as well as splintering of the top of my head. I bought mine on sale from the save big money store for $5 or so... you may want think about going that way.

i was there this am....it was 60 cents a sq. foot for cheap woven stuff, did not see anything with rubber backing...can u tell me what to research or look for? brand? material? style?

I thought this was lost in the move but here it is after all!  Let's try as a group to add more links to threads as they come about!

[1Bigdog]

need help, I tried picking on the links listed. Every time I do, it opens a new tab, but it is the standard "hotspotoutdoors.com/forums" it will not go to the link listed.

What's the deal?

[Rick]

They go to the old forum which is no longer active.

The posts are still here but have different links.

[McGurk]

Oh well, I guess we can shelve this thread.  It was nice while it lasted.  Would be nice if there was a way to have this info ina nice clean format that was easily searchable.

[Eiger0304]

Same here, I would to view these links. I click on them and you go right back to the main forum page.

Maybe some could a new portable mods thread. With some picks and new ideas.
