Size of a Half Tote?

Good News Tuna · 03-03-2007, 06:39 PM

Anybody have a half tote they could measure for me. Trying to plan a boat mod and it looks like it's gonna be a little tight for a tote. If somebody could measure the hight, width and length. Also need a half tote if you know where to get one.
Any Striper 2901 owners got a solution for 30 TUNA?

42 inches wide, 24 inches deep, and 24 inches tall.

Englund sells them; also Seattle Marine.

You might also consider the kill bags, like the ones Bud (Big Tuna Marine) sells.

Oh man I wish I was in your predicament

or are you just trying to get 30 tuna in one box? I think I could get 30 medium tuna in my 21 striper without a haf tote,look into fish bags they seem to be the solution to space compromised boats

Thanks guys. That should get us started. Thanks RB for the Bonar link. Moldy, not trying to get 30 fish in one box, just need more storage. The in floor boxes might hold 12 total, but not sure, as the boat has never been fished. Most of the floor is used up with the gas tank and generator.
The idea is to remove the flip seat on the transom and use the space that the seat folds into for the tote. It should slide into that space about 3 or 4 inches. I'll post a pick when it happens.

The tote is in the boat in the boat garage in Newport and I'm in Corvallis! But I think you can find the dimensions on the web if you do a google search. One thing to watch for though, I'm sure there is more than one size of half-tote out there. I bought mine form Englunds and they now often have another size outside, though I think the size of the one I got is still available. The newer version is shorter, not sure about how the length and width compare.

Go with the Reliable fishing products kill bag, which BIG TUNA marine sells.

I haven't put 30 tuners in my 2901 yet, but I have boated 23. I used a 120 and 150 quart coolers plus the built in fish boxes. They were not all full. I second the recommendations for using the fish bags, they hold a ton and take up very little space.

Kill Bags!

Put 41 in a 2601. You should have no problem with a 2901. A kill bag on each bunk in the cabin will hold all you will want to keep and that will leave room in the back for the rodeo!

T.V.- where did you put the coolers? Was hoping not to have coolers all over the deck. Tracker, this boat will only hold about a dozen fish in the floor. Genset takes up the whole big box in the middle. As for the kill bags, I think we will reserve those for extra fish on extraordinary days. I think with a cooler on the transom and a tote in the cockpit, we can get 30 fish nice and cozy for one final nap.
