[QUOTE="TrackerTom, post: 93115, member: 1679"] The lid was the original. The problem was that the lid was a great size and the compartment hole was tiny. Here's what I did: Removed the lid and compartment as a unit Removed foam The remaining compartment was lined on all 4 sides but for some reason 2 sides did not extend low enough Made extensions for these 2 sides Attached angled aluminum to support the floor. Made 2 floor pieces because 1 piece would not fit through the opening I made the floow so that at the sides it was about 1 inch above the bottom of the hull, in the low parts of the v there is some more depth that is wasted, but I did maximize the space pretty well. Then I drilled the rivets to remove the plastic tub Riveted the hatch back on Swapped out the pull handle for a locking version. The amount of stuff that I could fit in the compartment was amazing compared to before. It was a lot of work, but worth it big time. [/QUOTE]
