[QUOTE="canis521, post: 49366, member: 814"] Thanks for the welcomes all! I am leaning towards aluminum. What alloy would be best for this project- which would resist corrosion best? What thickness would you recommend? I can get pretty decent pricing on 24"x48" diamond plate- but it would mean seams- not sure if it would be a good idea. There is a local company that makes all kind of foam products for construction. I would assume they have a closed cell foam product that would work. I will let everyone know what I find. I was a bit leery of the amount of space the console would take up but I think I will be okay. I usually hunt with myself and one other plus one of my two dogs (on occasion both dogs). Honestly I am not sure what it would entail to remove/move the console and all its integrated components- like the steering wheel! [/QUOTE]
