Been wanting to do this project for quite some time. This is my first time working with starboard and learned a few lessons. It's not as neat and totally square as I would have liked, but I think it will get the job done.
I have a rather tall console and I am not an overly tall man... I've been wanting to make some sort of riser for the console area and who doesn't need more storage space? So I came up with this idea. I can store 9 regular 3700 boxes in here with room to spare. I made one small divider area to hold all my lead. I'm not sure exactly how I want to lay it all out yet, but it's a start. Got a helm pad to place on the lid and some seadeck "feet" to keep it from sliding around..

Great work. Always fun creating new projects and learning along the way. Send some pics with it in the boat.

I thought about doing something similar. Only afraid that I am going to run into it and break a toe.

Can you show a picture of it on your boat. Wanted to see how it looks especially with the down locker I have.

Nice how tall is it about 5".

Nice how tall is it about 5". With the pad, it's closer to 6". Might be a little too high, but much more comfortable sitting. I don't imagine I will need to touch the help much anymore when running with the auto pilot online.

Forgot to post some pics of it on the boat. I like the way it fits and I pretty much eliminated my big tackle bag.

Really looks good. Not sure how I'd consolidate all my tackle into one box, but yours is a pretty good size box.

Thanks. The box can go 3x 3700 boxes high. So they are stacked in there. Keeping the right amount of tackle on board is a constant struggle.

Looks great and I bet the visibility is much improved. Did you put rubber feet on it to prevent sliding?
