Hi everyone, I just thought I would share a couple of improvements that I made to my 2003 NX750sc. First I used ot have a 700LXdc and it had a rod ramp on the side and a step up between the driver and passenger seats. This worked great. However the NX750 had a third seat added in the middle and a tread rubber added in the middle of the rod ramp on the side to get up to the rear fishing deck. The problem is that if your partner has his/her rods laying in the rod ramp it is impossible to step up on the rear deck without either moving the rods or stepping on the seats. So I took the middle seat out and took some 3/4" treated plywood, ordered the correct carpet from Nitro, and made a carpeted step and mounted it in between the driver and passenger seat. I also have always thought it too big a step up to the front deck (especially since I am not getting any younger) so I took some inch and a half by two and a half inch angled steel mounted then to the sides of the open space between the console and the left rod box. I drilled my holes and ran bolts trough the fiberglass with some 1"x4"'s on the inside of the rodboxes,the front tackls area and the inside of the console. then I took a piece of cardboard and made a template and used it to cut our my playwood, I cut it out and carefully made adjustment until it fit with a little room all around. Than I marked my holes and drilled them, inserted carriage bolts, carpetd the step over the bolts and mounted it. Now I have a factory looking step up the front and rear decks with storage under both. Kinda the way it should have been built in the first place. Nitro should hire as a consultant, LOL.
If anyone would like pics I would be glad to send them to you.
