Fender holders inside the console

[SkaterRace]

I have a Blackfin 212CC (now called 222CC) which is a 21ft center console. I don't have a single bench or anything where I can put fenders. They don't fit in the bow seating nicely and leaving them to bounce around the console last year I broke a seal on the head.

I've been debating getting something like the attached image to put inside the console on both sides since it opens from the bow area. Is this a good option or what would a better one be? If it is good. How could I attach it to the sides of the console? Just screws into gelcoat doesn't seem strong enough to hold it them.

Those generally attach to the bow rail on bigger boats. If you have a tall rail they will work fine.

I have nothing for rails on the back. I have a few near the bow recessed but nothing else really.

No lockers ? Huge or too many fenders ?

There is the two up at the bow under the seats. That's all. Those end up used for life jackets and spare bags.

There is also one in the deck on the bow however it will fit at most 2 fenders and I typically have 3-4 with me. I mainly use that one to put fishing gear on the runs out or I will sometimes use it for ice to store fish we catch.

The only real space I have most of the time that is not deck is either the bilge (not sure how to make it useful for storage) and the console

Add a T-top and stow them near the E-box

I have a hard top, that as an e-box built into it. How would you go about stowing them near it? Can't say I've ever heard of that.

Make a wire frame holder to mount the fenders up above

I have also seen starboard fender holders as well as fiberglass

since the top is not that large on the 212, I would probably mount them just outboard the pipework. two on port, two on starboard

or just forward the ebox and the forward legs under the front overhang of the hardtop

Great thank you! I will give that a shot and see what I can build.
