Look through this thread Stink posted about the doors, might give you some ideas.

The drop in boxes were at one time nonexistent and then came available. But you need to read the dimensions and I can't locate the thread.
Maybe this might be a start.

another member used small plastic wastebaskets(like in a bathroom) as drop in boxes, also i think i remember someone posting some container from tupperware was a close fit.

as far as a door,looks like somebody had put up a canvas one already, thats a good pretty cheap fix. you could build one pretty cheap out of teak or starboard, i think the glass would be the rub.

I was going to say what phatdaddy said, measure it out and look in the stores for trash, Tupperware, dish pans ect....ect... you will find something.
Doors the canvas is a good idea and I see a lot of cruddy's doors on boats made of 1/2 plexi glass, get the smoked color.

I have a drop in well you can have if you want to pay shipping from Pensacola Florida 32506.

WOW that would be great THANKS THANKS please PM me with info were to send the $$$. I just found out I only need 1 because of stuff mounted in the port side one ( no depth for one ) Craig

Craig I cannot PM you because you have chosen not to receive PMs from other members. You need to go into settings and unclick that box.

:oh: I am sorry , I didnt see that box , should be all set now thanks

I have decided to make a new cuddy door . I have a table saw , router table and cabinet door molding router bitts, I just need to know were to buy some teak wood ,? I have access to 1/4 " shaded lexan for the window . any one got a recomendation ??

Drop in boxes
 

When I needed new ones I checked out a restaurant supply store and they had stainless steel bins used for buffets which fit very well and they'll probably outlast me!

Are you meaning the bait wells ? S.S wells would be great . I could airiate them with a drain & pump , GREAT IDEA.

Grey,
You might rethink that teak idea when you price out the material unless you have a connection or have some laying around..
Lexan (plexiglass) is expensive but probably still cheaper then the teak.
The plexiglass is also pretty easy to work with.

I have found some internet dealers and you are right $$$$$$. I have decided to just use a teak frame with smoked lexan in the middle like this photo .\
