Hi all, on our new to us boat, we do not have a lazarette, so I am looking for ideas for on deck storage for lines, etc. The PO had installed a large Iglo cooler on the aft deck that he used, but that space will be taken up with a small chest freezer.
I am looking at two boxes similar to:https://www.westmarine.com/buy/west...MI8MHZqKLC8QIVqMqUCR1kgAoWEAQYBSABEgIyVvD_BwE
But frankly the price seems pretty ridiculous. Considering two boxes on the fore deck, permanently fastened down, with down side drain hole(s).
Questions: Do people recommend a tight seal on the lid, or a loose seal to allow some air transfer? I DO like the fact that the inside of the box is gelcoated, not a rough chopper gun texture.
Anyone have any sources of supply that will not require taking out a loan to purchase from West Marine?
Anyone have suggestions for a similar type for box, or even an off the wall suggestion for storage?
Thanks in advance for any (helpful) suggestions!
