A bolster keeps our down duvet out of the way when not in use and provides a nice pillow to lean against as we are reading in bed or watching a movie on our laptop.
In Stair Drawers: On Chance, our 34′ Seafarer, we built in a few drawers into the companionway stairs that ended up being one of my favorite small boat storage ideas. They gave us a lot of extra space that would have gone unused otherwise to store our silverware, stick lighters, cooking gadgets and random odds and ends. [links]
Bonus points if you can spot my sailboat origami! [links]
Sunglasses String: We tend to collect sunglasses over here and have run out of places to keep them safe and scratch-free. I came up with the idea of hanging a simple paracord string up and hanging our sunglasses up and out of harm’s way. Boat storage solutions don’t always have to be complicated. Sometimes simple is best.
We keep our flip-flops tidy by tucking them behind a bungee cord wrapped around the companionway. [links]
Canvas Bags: Bags have so many uses on a boat to help you keep everything organized and easy to manage. For Chance, I bought these bags from the Container Store to use in our closet. They allowed us to maximize the space (including along the curve of the hull) that we wouldn’t have been able to do if we use rigid buckets. I still use these on Chancelot along with packing cubes. Having multiple size bags makes it easy to organize like items and allows you to maximize the amount you can shove into a single cubby. I do wish they were waterproof, you know, just in case. I also bought a bunch of these shoe bags that help me keep my shoes organized and any dirt that may be stuck on the bottom contained.
Beautiful inside and out.
When on the water, the scenery essentially takes care of the decorating duties all by itself. However, there are a few items that could add a layer of function and practicality to your boat while still allowing the waves to have center stage. Think of a boat grill for convenient meals that don't require you to dock or interrupt your day in the sun. Think boat cup holders to securely position your drink when your turn to waterski or ride the towable comes up. One thing you don t have to think about? Where to find these items! Overton's has them all.

How to avoid sales tax on a boat? here
Donating your boat to charity can prove more lucrative than selling it. You can only deduct its “fair market value” and for that you’ll need an appraisal in the form of a survey. The charity to which you donate it must be a non-profit organization. The benefit of donation is that most of these charities can manage the paperwork for you and the boat is disposed of quickly without needing to find a buyer.
If the charity sells your vessel, you can claim a tax deduction for the amount the boat sold for (not the appraised value if it’s higher) or at least $500. If the charity uses the boat for its mission, you can deduct the full fair market value instead. The charity should give you a Form 1098-C for your accountant.
In some states like California, you can take offshore delivery (sign the ownership transfer papers) off the coast outside the state’s territorial waters and then use the boat somewhere outside of the state for a minimum of one year before bringing it back to California. Florida has a similar exception and caps the amount of taxes due on a boat purchase to $18,000. California has no limit. Every jurisdiction has different regulations. Proof of the offshore location where you took possession of the vessel may be required. [links]
You can take the home mortgage interest deduction for one second home in addition to your primary home but you must itemize deductions. A boat is considered a second home for federal tax purposes if it has a head (bathroom) a bed (sleeping berth) and a galley (kitchen). You’ll need IRS Form 1098 to deduct the interest and also any points paid to secure a loan.
