[QUOTE="DaveInGA, post: 264793, member: 166"] With the storage deck done, I started prepping the 5 storage hatches (3 with bins) the boat original came with. Here's a couple pics of original condition: In boat: [img]https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v33/DaveinOakwoodGA/1986TrackerV17/RearDecksStorage3.jpg[/img] Removed from boat: [img]https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v33/DaveinOakwoodGA/1986TrackerV17/Progress82810/RearDeckStorageAndSeatBases.jpg[/img] First I painted them: Good paint and the attached doodad saved my finger: [img]https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v33/DaveinOakwoodGA/1986TrackerV17/Progress052512/RustoleumProfessionalRattleCan2.jpg[/img] Results. Note I am NOT and DO NOT claim to be a spray painter: [img]https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v33/DaveinOakwoodGA/1986TrackerV17/Progress052512/StorageBinHatchesPainted.jpg[/img] Next, I installed trexx board using my tablesaw and a good blade to cut it. Stuff cuts like butter with a saw blade. Here's the trexx laid in for a mock up with the hatch lid pull on top: [img]https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v33/DaveinOakwoodGA/1986TrackerV17/Progress052512/MockupHatchLid1.jpg[/img] I didn't have quite enough of the trexx board to complete using two board, so for one bin, I had to use scrap. Here is the scrap mocked in. There are no screws holding things down, so they look a little un-level, since the old aluminum lids under them are a little banged up and bent.
