Boat bait/tool station

My eyes caught sight of som⅘ething I found very useful. Was a raised bait cutting station over the transom. Allowed the livewell to open and outboard to fully raise. Even had a rod holder on it. Looked be made outa that white vinyl/plastic stuff. Are these something purchased, local fabbed or homemade? Look easy to build if someone has a bit of detail to share.

I've only seen those on Arimas. It is (or was) an option from the factory.

Not quite what I saw. More for the aluminum boats having the extended transom and the livewell/storage built into the aft

There is a variety of options out there with different mounting systems. Really it depends on your transom and what you can accommodate. There are prefab ones you can buy and mount or you can have a custom built one. Google "transom bait station" and you will get a lot of options.

Not the same thing, but this is one I use. Fits in a Scotty mount.

Yeah, googled that and fell into the rabbit hole. Many designs. Might be a great project for time between projects.

Found this. Similar concept but lacking the tool and rod holders

You could probably put add ons to that setup to accommodate your needs pretty easily.

you can buy lots of the fillet table/boards and add things to them.
usually the custom part is the mounting. on my north river, there is a ski pole hole that i turned into the mount for the removeable table/bait station. i bought aluminum pipe that fit, and welded some brackets to the top to mount the table.
you can make your own out of king starboard if youd like, you can order custom sizes at tap plastics and cut it with normal wood working tools.
look at the magma fillet tables (lots of different sizes), miller marine makes really good stuff but they are proud of it also, but they do have some cool custom mounts you could utilize.
post up a picture of your boat and i might be able to help more.
here's a shot of what i have on my boat

Back end picks of the SeaRunner. It gets busy with stuff. Always hate clearing the top board to drop fish into the livewell. I use it as a bleed area and ice storage

Miller Marine is your answer (as someone earlier stated). Oregon company now owned by Boulton Power Boats (also Oregon Company) so I'm sure they are familiar with a Hewes set up. I want to get one just need to start catching more fish to justify it lol.

I want my transom clean. No junk. I hate working around anything that interferes with a net. Nothing worse than the guys with big ass bait boards and those Burnerwellintothepocletbook rod holders who have to turn their boats 90 degrees to net a fish while trolling around other boats. It's painful to watch. Guys with clean bottoms roll their fish up, no turns net where the fish is and catch more faster

Guys with extended transoms don't net out the back.
