Default Want to make a 'Built-In' Tackle box in my center console...

Hello all,I've got a 1995 Blue Wave 189T (19') Center Console bay boat.It is a rolled edge/gunnel boat, not a liner. In some of the higher end liner boats, I have seen tackle boxes/storage compartments built into the center console. Anyone seen these? I know they sell them..but they are pricey...and I'm thinking about making my own out of fiberglass or Aluminum.Has anyone done this? My intention would be for it to have a latching lid/door, and a few sets of rails/tracks that I can set a Shimano Tackle Box on (The clear boxes that come in the tackle bags).Any ideas? Maybe someone knows where I can buy one pre-built, cheap?Thanks in Advance.SQ

Did you look here. http://www.iboats.com/mall/index.cgi...****=225573111 I don't think you can build anything for much less that will look as good.

Thanks for the heads up.I am always one who searches before I post..but that item escaped me!I agree, it would be tuff to build something as good as that for the money...especially once you factor in the time spent.Now I need to find one that holds more than 3, or possibly purchase two of them.Thanks againShawnQ
