[QUOTE="katfish2123, post: 314169, member: 11449"] I was thinking of making it friction fit as I don't think I will ever be going out in it without something in the floor. I have some webbing that I was going to attach to the bottom and have it stick out the top for easy removal. How do you think I should box in the sides? Just cut the ply and screw it to the vertical aluminum brackets? Also, I was thinking of riveting angle pieces to the outside of the boat like I did at the transom duct to hold the lids for the side storage. That should cut down on weight for boxing in the whole side I want the lids to be hinged on the inside edge of the box and open inward. Any thoughts on how this may work? I know I want them to be buck riveted so I don't have leaks. Think this will work?? [/QUOTE]
