Try here:

Don't know if it is still a viable option but if so, be sure to tell them CB gave you the link. They'll be happy to tell you what an asshat I really am and how you need to join the "Club".

Oh well, my job is to pass out information, not to be liked.

Good luck. :thumright:

those things look great!!  I have a home-made live well on the aft-port side of my 222.  It takes up a lot of room though, getting rid of that thing would give me loads of fishing and moving room.

I'm actually thinking of removing mine & replacing them with a swim platform & a kicker motor, if removing them does not leave me with an unfinished surface on the transom.  If that ends up being the case, mine will become available.

Does anyone know how hard it is to remove those things?  Does anyone know if the surface behind them is gel coat or just raw glass?

The boxes are simply lag bolted to the finished transom. They were added on at the factory or at the dealer as an option. Now if you remove them, you are going to have to deal with repairing the lag bolt holes since they are screwed into the wood transom core.

Hello Everyone.  Bob from Mays Landing, NJ.

I just joined after lurking for a few weeks.

I recently bought a 1984 170 Osprey CC out of Brick, NJ.

Power is also a 1984 Mercury 115 Inline 6 "Tower of Power".

I'm looking forward to interacting with other members and also learning about this boat.

It's a pleasure to be here and thanks for having me !
