Any tips on where/how to store a valise raft on a sailfish 272 so it’s accessible but kept dry? First year with one and testing different spots before I’m launched there isn’t a great place out of the way but also accessible. Any insight appreciated.

There is no good spot. We kept ours in the cabin, then tried to find somewhere to keep it. never found a good spot. Shift gears and roof mounted in a hard case.
How about mounted under the hard top or on deck but below the helm there was a decent size area down below the cupholder and speaker that extended down past the seat.
That’s what I was afraid of. I had a hard case but was told by Grady dont mount on the roof under any circumstances so didn’t but should have stuck with that one
The door on my cabin is tight, after a couple minutes of forcing and pivoting I decided not to bring it below in fear of not getting it out. My friends ‘99 272 has a slightly wider door and it’d work with that setup but mines just too tight to get below unfortunately
Mines a little big for those spots unfortunately but I have them a try. Hard to see the size relative in the picture but it takes up one entire side either helm or passenger side from floor to just under my knees and from the cup holder spot out to the aisle
