It starts eating up deck space pretty fast that way.
Sorry I missed the beginning of the conversation but I get it now. I
guess aluminum might be best. Of course I would whip it out in a day out
of Occoume Plywood, a quart of Epoxy, some wood flower and some two inch
tape. I noticed someone suggested two layers of three inch tape, but you
are not building a yacht, just a box
You could also use a core material a lot lighter than plywood too... You
could make it all composite with a honeycomb fill and tight weave
fiberglass cloth...
I build my console, I know how to do it but it is not work I like to
do.
Right now I am looking at EvaKool 85 liter coolers (Maybe the IceKool)
If I could find some of those "seconds" they have on their Australian
site I would jump in a heartbeat. Retail I am looking at close to a
grand. I am also not sure they are good at keeping water out but I
think they are gasketed.
A grand? Wow... Really never saw that coming. Damn son, build the
stinkin' thing. Buy a nice plastic welder and have at it, it would be
fun and still within budget... When you are done, you can send the
welder to me
