Overtons?

I looked at Overtons as well as about any other big chain marine store
and still didn't see what I'd like, so I guess it's plywood and
carpet. *Thanks for the suggestion, though.

Dock boxes...lots of different sizes...here's just one supplier

Thanks Harry, but the dock boxes are way to big for the inside of my
boat. I was looking for *boxes to hold a seat on top and possible a
cooler/ storage inside. *that company in Australia makes some pretty
good looking stuff that is designed well, but I haven't sen much of
anyone who distributes their products in the US or a competitor that
makes *those items here. I'm sure their out there, but I haven't found
them yet. and I've noticed on some other forums where people are
complain of the same search as well. *So, it looks that we'll have to
make our own.

Nice thought though.

reply:
The aluminum jet boats use aluminum boxes. *Unfortunately they are about
$400. *You could ask your local sheet metal shop what they would charge to
bend the sheet and make one. *Also, how about using a heavy duty cooler box.http://www.boatdepot.com/bdsearch.as...4994241?source...

Good ideas Bill, and taking all into consideration, but I think I'm
still leaning this direction minus the sharp edges, of course!

Yup, but for the corners I would cut down a 2x4 to square and glue the
plywood to the 2x4 frame with epoxy and a couple nails back from the
corners as far as possible. Once it set up, I would knock down the
corners to a nice 1 to 1 1/2 inch radius, then cover with carpet. The
carpet covering will cover any sloppiness with the electric planer or
belt sander making the corners...
