i'M REDOING MY BOAT, AND I HAV THREE SPOT UP FRONT THAT WOULD MAK GREAT STORAGE AS MY BOAT IS A DEEP V.I WAS THINKING OF MAKING BOXES/ STORAGE BINS OUT OF FIBERGLASS AS THIS WOULD GIVE ME MAX STORAGE, I ALSO THOUGHT ABOUT CANVAS MATERIAL AND MAKE BAGS. OR i MIGHT LEAVE BOTTOM OF BOAT EXPOSED, AND JUST NOT PUT ANYTHING SMALL IN THEM AS THEY COULD GET LOST UNDER BOAT DECK FRAME

First off, don't type in all capital letters. It's considered shouting, and it's very hard for someone to read what you posted above and not think of you as an old man with a dead battery in his hearing aid.

For your boxes there are a lot of ways to make them. Anything from just putting hatches over the open space under the deck to forming custom fiberglass boxes and glassing them in. You can also get pre-made storage boxes that are designed to be installed in spots like that.

Post some pics and we'll give you some suggestions.

Nice hatches man. Why didn't I think of that?

It would be nice to put some extra gear under there.
