    Epoxy your velcro straps right into your hull. Only allowing the epoxy flow over the width of your packs. Put a strip of velcro on your packs for cushion and you are all set. If you think about it you will be epoxying your trays in anyways.

            Hey Al, Ive used the epoxy/ velcro method as well. Epoxy I used was the two part 5 min from the LHS. Its the type that about all shops carry and usually have thier shop name on them. Click on the "building supplies" link on the left of the OSE page. When it shows the nuts and bolt and tape and wire. Look at the glue pic, has 2 different elmers and some 30 min epoxy.. thats what I used... well, same bottles anyway and 5 min. I also CA'd some into a hull as a last minute thought and its held up wonderfully in some nasy blow overs and barrel rolls. Thats in my BJ26.

            If you know exactly what your looking for tray wise though. I can lay you up a cf sheet and you can make them

              Yeah, just used loctite 2 part epoxy from any hardware store. Scuff the hull first (very important) and also yes the velcro came from Home Depot. I also got tired of my boats coming in with battery's scattered everywhere inside. Sometimes mid-run the boat would start leaning to one side and I knew I had knocked one loose. Even had a wire rub the drive coupler on the motor and rub it to raw wire. That was when I had enough of that.

                Ok,5 min epoxy it is plus the velcro strips.Its also for my BJ26,seems like nothing will stick inside this hull as i tried several glue types on regular velcro(sticky back) with no good results whatsoever.Didn`t wanted to use epoxy yet,in order not to ruin the inside.But the time have come!!!!......Thanks guys,.....Al
