[QUOTE="Treeratsniper, post: 483503, member: 21247"] After the required 72 hour cure time for the Steel-Flex, I flipped it over & started working on converting the mid bench seat into a storage hatch, the flotation foam was pretty much disintegrated & had turned into a giant mouse nest. I gutted the old foam & cut down a piece of 1/8 treadplate I had from a previous project. The plate was attached with a stainless piano hinge & rivets. The tin was pretty thin on the old seat, I added some aluminum angle to stiffen it up a bit. This isn't intended to be watertight storage, just a place for PFDs, FAK, maybe a small tackle box... I'll add a couple of pieces of velco to keep it from rattling.
