You know I might be after the 15 footers; I'll need to do a bit of mental measuring since the boat isn't built yet. But 15 footers would probably reach 12 feet forward of the motor, I'd guess, by the time you get them under the gunwale?

IIRC the rule of thumb is to add the following:

1. Centre line to transom distance
2. Length along gunwale from transom to helm location
3. Two feet extra to allow outboard to turn freely

Yeah, that sounds about right. Unfortunately I think that will be a little tight for what I'm planning - too bad; I like when I stumble across guys trying to clean out their garage of parts I need. It's a win-win when you can get it.

Sure is. Cables themselves don't take much space but Mrs Sly has been making comments about the overall quantity of boat and fishing stuff that has accumulated.
