Check Murray's for the fiberglass one made by Performance or make your own. Many threads in the past about making hour own--try the search function. I just finished one for my A-cat trailer.

Trey Brown has had several made over the past few years. Think sportlocker built from diamond plate. Beautifully done and reasonably priced. PM me if you want his contact info.

It helps if you let people know where you are located.

Indeed, I've made quite a few sailboxes in the past few years. Zander's description is spot on. NO fiberglass box comes close to these boxes. I've got 1 left in inventory right now. I'm in SC, but travel quite a bit. Email me for details.

Thanks

I gotta plug my buddy Trey's boxes. They are top notch quality. I'm thinking about getting a second one for my trailer.

Tad.. I heard yours was Bday present and the story behind it went something like Trey popping out wearing nothing but Magic Marine skimpy shorts and then singing Happy Birthday Mr. President to you.
Would explain the popularity of the boxes and why Trey enjoys selling them so much! smile

In reality though... they are sweet boxes! One day when I can afford to buy new sails one of his boxes is next on my list!

Dude, your wife was supposed to open the box, not you. (You were also scheduled to be out of town too grin )

Are the lunchboxes long enough to hold an 11'3" spin pole?

Kris - see Alec's trailer with dual TreyBoxes - one of them is modified to take long spin poles. Basically a length of PVC pipe with a cap attached to front end. I miss the trailer and TreyBoxes...

I was hoping for a more elegant solution than strapping on a hard condom. Unfortunately, I think that there are few metal fabricators that have 12' breaks (bending machines) that would consider such low budget jobs.
