Our take:

The Hell's Bay Console Caddy is a thoughtful addition for skiff owners who value organization and efficiency. Its design reflects the quality and attention to detail which is synonymous with Hell's Bay Boatworks. And while it may not be universally compatible with all/your boat model, for Hell's Bay skiff owners, it's a worthy investment to enhance your boating experience while saving on space and (now where are my keys again?)​ time simultaneously! Well, let's just say it will after you start using it... 😁
