When an angler and boater approached Vertex with their ingenious invention, the Fin-Tac, we seized the opportunity to collaborate on a groundbreaking custom boating accessory. Armed with a rough cardboard breadboard as our starting point, our mission was clear: to design and engineer a portable storage unit that seamlessly integrates into the boating experience while enhancing functionality and aesthetics.
Our objectives were ambitious yet straightforward: create an aesthetically pleasing storage solution that offers ample space for transporting supplies, a convenient work surface for processing fish, and storage for fishing rod holders—all while elevating the overall appearance of the boat.
The result? The Fin-Tac unit—a marvel of innovation and practicality. Crafted with precision, this unit boasts a built-in handle for effortless transport, akin to a suitcase, and can be swiftly installed or removed from the boat. Featuring six tackle box storage compartments, four rod holders, four line reel holders, and a built-in ruler, all contained within a single rotationally molded part, the Fin-Tac offers unmatched versatility and convenience.
But it's not just about function—the sleek design of the Fin-Tac adds a touch of elegance to any boat, with its fin spoiler serving as a striking visual accent. Whether you're an avid angler or a dedicated boater, the Fin-Tac is a must-have addition to your marine arsenal, seamlessly blending style and functionality for an unparalleled on-water experience.
