Wanted to know where if you did. Not really for fishing , but more of a mount for a BBQ.
 
I have one already installed. This is where it is located on the port side. There is one on each side but this is the one I would use for the grill mount since the other is behind the seating area - thinking of using another mount there to create a removable table.

You should be able to remove the storage area below (shown in the picture) to check clearance. If you want I can get exact measurements for you when I go down to the boat.

Thanks, but I think I'm going to go with that grill mount Idea. By the time I buy the rod holders and then the mount it comes out to be more than the grill mount. I like that Idea too. I just picked up a sheet 24x24x3/4" of Starboard for $15. I'm going to make a table and mount it to the grill mount. I'll post back Thanks
 
I tried mounting my magma grill to the rear transom of our 320 and found that it was hard to keep the grill lit. I believe it has something to do with how the wind is funneled through the boat while at anchor. I even tried leaving the isinglass in place at the helm with no luck, the wind would still put the flame out. I found the rod holder in the gunnel stayed lit in any wind condition. Just something to think about.

I don't even have storage in that spot. There's just a removable panel which opens into the engine compartment below. A storage compartment sure would be useful there. Sheesh!

It doesn't store much. I basically keep my throwable floatation cushion in there. It fits perfect and is in a great place if needed.

I won't have that problem. I'm going with electric. Thanks

I put a pedestal on the swim platform. Works great.

Do you have pics of your install? I’m thinking of doing this as well but I’m worried about it impeding the ladder and/or dinghy. I know we have different year models but just curious.

Mike, I really like your rear shade assembly. Can you share a closer picture of how you have that set up? I'd like to to the same.
