[QUOTE="PhilM, post: 126400, member: 2487"] Here are the pictures of the front battery box and support structure. I built the box with 1/2" MDO and Engineered I Beams (Scraps I had around the shop). The I beams are light weight and support alot of weight. The aluminum is 1" x 1/8" angle. The front box area will allow for two batteries to be installed. The other boxed area's will be flotation cells. I had black oil base paint so that is what I used to seal all of the wood. After I bolt this down I think I am going to spay a little foam under the edges of the box just to fill the void, leaving a center channel for drainage. I am thinking of placing an aluminum sheet inside the bottom of the battery box and drilling a 2" hole in the base for a clean-out. [/QUOTE]
