[QUOTE="BloodStone, post: 370332, member: 826"] [b]Why not? Don't get me wrong, I'm listening but, I'm also pretty sure it'll be next to impossible to find something pre-made (aka store bought) that'll work well in that exact bench seat cavity. The appeal of just using that bench seat cavity alone is that it's long enough to accommodate some of the pike I catch that are sometimes over 3' long (work for big walleye too). Having someone fabricate something out of aluminum I'm sure would not be cheap (don't own a Tig Welder, Mig yes Tig no). Although if push comes to shove, I suppose I could buy & then cut out the aluminum pieces myself (depending on how much 1/16+" aluminum plate costs-natch) & then pay someone to weld it altogether :-k Another possibility (though not my 1st choice) is to fabricate it out of 1/16" or slightly thicker steel plate & then use a good quality, water-proof paint to keep it from rusting. :-s [/b] [/QUOTE]
