400$$ table to layout pad pedistal storage

[#boattarded]

The least convenient thing about converting from table to layout pad and back was walking to the locker to retrieve the posts. I devised a system where both sets of posts store under the table tops secured by Velcro straps. We are pleased with the result and the room that it freed up in our locker. Super quick and convenient.
I haven't found a way to post photos here, but I will post them on Twitter with the hashtag: #boattarded

Sounds like a great idea, love to see some pics if you're able.

I needed to log onto a computer to attach photos. Wasn't able to accomplish it from the phone.
We have been using these all season. It has been a huge convenience!

Awesome fix! How did u attach velcro to tables? Glue screws rivets?

We used small stainless steel screws to attach the Velcro to the tables.
We first overlapped 2 strips of Velcro. 1 hook and 1 loop, so that they meet correctly on the other side of the pole, and then ran a single crew through it and into the table. These strips are not sticky-back.
We added a piece of sticky-back Velcro to the poles just to keep them from slipping through the loops while picking up the table tops during conversion.
By attaching the poles to the inside of each tabletop they are out of the way of legs while using them.
