  • Patent number: 4827864
    Abstract: A removable, combination casting deck and storage locker unit is provided which may be dropped into the walk-through area extending between the control console and elevated front fishing deck portions of a bass boat to provide additional enclosed storage space on the boat and to form a rearward extension of the front elevated deck portion. In this manner, more than one angler can fish from an elevated casting area at the more desirable bow end of the boat. The unit may be easily and quickly removed from the walk-through area, and stored in a suitable location, to return the bass boat to its conventional fishing configuration.
