I still working on the magic.



I've built a box that will easlily hold 2+adults. (you should see who I put in there)



It's overall dimensions are 12ft long, by 4ft wide, by about 13in tall. The rear section is 4x8, which is hindged so the top opens from one side. The front section is 4x4 and is hinged to the front. The whole box is about 13-14 in. tall, and my dolphin striker clears it easily when putting the boat on. YOu have to measure everything BEFORE you build the box.



The sections are continuous inside, so that as stated, items longer than 8ft. fit easily- duh! YOu can fit everything, and still room left over, I mean EVERYTHING.



I made the frame of the box from treated 2x2's and 2x4's. The skin, or walls and sides, is T-111 treated exterior panels, come already primed. No painting or priming needed. For fasteners, my drill w/ a deck d=screw bit(comes with the screws). That way, the deck screws are specially treated, and never rust, much cheaper than SS also. The hindges are brass, again, no rust.



All the materials, for about $110, about four hours work, start to fininsh.



Larger, Cheaper, Better.



**I'LL HAVE IT AT ROUND THE ISLAND 9/27 IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT.
