Re: 31-10-2012 - Start making rear seat box/esky...
little bit concerned about the extra weight your seat box/eskie will add to the bum,
they are good but are also heavy
specially when you add bums and stuff IN the eskie, liquid refreshment/ice/bait/fush,
if you have twin fuel tanks and two batteries there's a bit extra weight there already...plus you've put extra braces in,along with more matt/resin, which is a good thing but it adds a little extra weight at the same time,
just looked at the start again at your first pic, it didn't have a rear bench seat?
just for your consideration as another seating option
l made up a new rear bench seat to replace the cactus one that it came with using an old cut down seat base for the centre support and it also sits on the sipe pockets, 75 mm foam with black vinyl cover, length of treated pine ( all l had in the shed att )..also had the rear transom squab recoved as it had split from the weather
good thing about it is that it can be moved forward so it's under a bit of the canopy if it rains,
also has enough clearance under it to slide tackle boxes,
it can also be taken out altogether if we've only got two POB, more room for fishing,
it also fits into the other two boats as well,
anyway,was just a thought
cheers
