I just did a quick google for dock boxes and got a million shapes and
sizes... Is there something I missed in a post, something unusual you
are looking for?

This is what I am replacing

I am constrained by the width between the edge of the boat and the
door.

Hows about rotating the box counter clockwise 90 degrees? Is that doable?

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

That is for 2

Have you priced dock boxes?

The seconds are less than half price and I can live with a scratch or
two.
The distributor in Jupiter answered my Email today and I an going to
see what he can come up with for me.


Ok, that sounds better.. If you can get both for 500, that's pretty good
I guess. So, anyway, I like the resin ones best from what I have seen...
