True, but my wife's idea of having fun (especially on a river cruise), is park the boat and head immediately to a motel for shower, book reading and HBO! |

Best bet is probably to build something out of plywood if you or a buddy have cabinet making skills. |

No, I have a router and can make the edges 'dull' I wouldn't want anything sharp like that. That's an inexcusable hazard. Before we talked about modified sine wave inverters I was thinking one side for a cooler and the other side for a microwave, inverter, or battery etc, but I think that an opposite side would be best equipped for tools, wire ties tape, spare prop etc. You know, Wayne, the REAL necessities. ?;^ ) |

RATS!!! Due to the enormously hot weather and extremely high humidity, the glue on the waterproof carpet glue isn't curing as planned. especially due to the high humidity, it's just kinda sitting there. Oh it's curing OK, but a lot slower than expected. Heres the stuff we're using: http://www.menards.com/main/store/20...OCAX_B0963.jpg This is kind of a set back due to other projects we could be doing on the boat if the carpet was solid. Oh well.... |

What did you decide about the seat base. I'd think building one would be pretty simple, if you had the time. There used to be van conversion shops around which sold table tops, etc, etc. Seems something like that might make a nice base for the seat, with some reinforcing, and would have rounded corners. Maybe marine plywood with a coat of polyurethane would work, with appropriate bracing of course. Sorry about the glue. |

Eh...it's almost August. Well, the dentist couldn't do this one. That makes two attempts this week on different teeth. Neither was successful. Go to a specialist Monday for *two* root canals. But, I'd rather have a root canal than drive I-95 to Richmond on a Friday afternoon! Oh, went to the orthopod guy today. No golf or frisbee throwing for at least a month. Crap, I'll probably put on 30 lbs. Speaking of weight, how's it going. Haven't heard anything lately. Doing fine John, jsut really having a time busting the 265 mark. what's the deal about the frisbee throwing? |

Apparently I've not been throwing the damn frisbee properly either. Oh well. **** happens. I'll just have to add about three miles to the dog's daily walks. |

Thought about that too Wayne, But I think that carpet would be the better idea. at least it would go uniform with the floor, and maybe provide a bit of external insulation for the cooler container. |

Good ideas Bill, and taking all into consideration, but I think I'm still leaning this direction minus the sharp edges, of course! http://www.lasvegaspix.com/projects/...s/IMG_1953.jpg 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... -- Team Rowdy Mouse, Banned from the Mall for life! |

I won't go too far but to say, it will keep the ice on hot weekends better than any cooler I have ever had. I keep it in the shade, even in 90 degree weather and have ice for 48 hours if you are careful... As to the 470 dollar boxes. I could build exactly what Tim wants for about 100 bucks and three to four hours labor...
