You might want to repost your question on "rec.boats.building".

There are still a few knowledgable guys who check in there once in a
while.

I was thinking that you might be able to adapt a small dock box but
prices have gone through the roof for them. Best bet is probably to
build something out of plywood if you or a buddy have cabinet making
skills.

Oh yeah, we can build them but I liked the idea of the pre-formed and
If could be found reasonable, I'd think that would be the ticket.

Nice. Is that formica/laminate over plywood? Only problem with that
is sharp corners, something I try to avoid.

I noticed that too. 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.

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.

You could also consider some sort of vinyl wall covering instead of,
or in conjunction with carpeting.

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.

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.
