Starboard is heavy and not inexpensive. You might find it easier and
cheaper to buy some redi-made dock boxes somewhere.

I have pounded the bushes and nobody seems to make them the size I
need, I am using some old tool boxes now (polyethylene) but my wife
wants something nicer.
Starboard is not really my choice either.

How about an Igloo cooler (or similar) ?

One nice thing about Starboard is that it's easy to work if you have
basic woodworking tools like a circular saw and router table. If you
radius the corners and edges, and then polish it out, it ends up
looking very professionally done. It is also easy to drill and tap.
