Ideas for bench storage lids? (PHOTOS)

adbennett · Sep 22, 2011

Hey guys,
new to the forum and wondering if anyone has any ideas on how I should make some lids for my cut out bench so I can use the empty space as storage. The first picture is from when I bought the boat then what I've done so far. Many more mods to come I'm sure, and hopefully some paint!

No pictures and not even a tin but I took out one seat on my fiberglass boat that was on top of the battery compartment. I replaced it with a piece of plywood and a sub frame that allows the plywood to stay in place but easily removable. I screwed down an old plastic cutting board on top of the plywood so now it is a step, a battery cover and a bait table. It's a small 14 footer so every square foot counts!

:WELCOME: Nice boat. I have pod seats in the stern of my boat. I cut a rectangular section out of the aluminum, braced with 1/8" aluminum angle and topped with 3/4" plywood. For your set-up, you could have the opening towards the inside of the boat, unless you add seat posts. Good luck with your build.
