i love the storage boxes you built under your seats.

you got a patent on those things or you think you could help me out on how to and what you made them out of.

blueprints would be great ;D

Thanks...glad ya like 'em...no patent protection, public knowledge...there's a 40 gal gas tank in each box...boxes made of treated lumber(lightened where possible), then upholstered w/HD white vinyl...no blueprints...got measurements of tanks, then made boxes to hold 'em...

My '74 came w/20 gal saddle tanks under gunwales...didn't think that was enough fuel capacity, so pulled saddles and installed these...if your boat has in-floor belly-tank, this would be a good way for you to add storage...good luck w/it...post pics if you do it... ;)...Lowe's has stainless steele staples if you go the upholstery route...
