[QUOTE="huntinfool, post: 106745, member: 1931"] I built an insulated fish box in a 26' wellcraft. The customer wanted to be able to put a bunch of ice in it and have it last a bit, along with some big fish that he would spear off shore. I took two 4x8 sheets of the FRP and sanded one side on each one. Then I layed a layer of mat and resin and layed the other one on top. Then I used a 4x8 plywood on top with old batteries to hold it down until the resin set up. After that was set I cut the pieces to make the fishbox, in this case they were 6.5'x15x15. I used one layer of the doubled FRP for a base then layed insulating foam (2 layers of 1/2") and then another layer of the FRP. I continued this all the way around until the box was complete. I glecoated the inside white and added a drain and plug. Now mind you this was all underneath his floor. Luckily I was redoing his stringers and had the room. But I don't think I would try it again if I didn't have the access. So far he said it works like a champ. [/QUOTE]
