i dont use them at all but want the boat to look a little nicer the ones i have now are cracked, dirty, yellow, and they are falling out because the screw holes are bigger than the screws. i also have my deck light screwed in to them would that be a big problem or could i just moun them to the new box. i found my measurements the boxes are 60" long 16 1/2" wide and 3 1/2" deep. so i think they were two small anyway. i am never going to sell mine so i can do what ever i want. i like the idea of just covering them with starboard., insted of making it a scuba tank holder i would put some type of cushion over it and make it a leaning post when fishin'.
