Looks great! 8)

What type of lid support did you use for the fwd lid, and does it stay open when you lift the lid? I've been thinking I need something for the storage box on my rig.

Thanks! The edges of the lid rest on the 2x4's. It's super solid,
I stood on it and was surprised... I used a latch spring that I picked up for like 9 bux at a local marine shop. Works great because it holds it open solid and you just touch it to close it .

Elaborate a bit more on that lid holder. I don't want latches on my boat so gas shocks are out, but I would like to have some sort of support. How exactly does it work? Do you have a link I could see?
