I may decide to build a mold if and make a few if some of ya'll are interested. Theres a small glas shop not far from the house, I'll give them any idea of what size they'll be and see what they'll charge to lay some up. Any input on size, shape, openings, ... I will probably make the mold myself, I've got a friend with 23 Sea Craft that I'm helping out that wants a box for his boat also

Spare, I've got a good friend w/ a boat at Tollers Cove...get down as often as possible...love Charleston (my family's originally from there)...

We've talked here before of molding one of these V-20s and goin' into limited production...most agreed it should be a full-transom w/a bracket to hold as much as 225 HP...stretched out to 22-23' LOA (not including bracket), cuddy model w/ CC to follow...80-100 gal gas capacity...useing the later model's self-bailing hull w/ as much flotation stuffed in it as reasonable...the seat-boxes you're lookin' for would be good option, insulated for cooling...30 gal bait-well built into the transom...

we've kicked around stuff like that...some of the other guys will offer more suggestions...if ya get 'er goin' you'll get a lot of support from here!! ;) 8) ...

If someone on here that has one could send you the measurements I would be interested.

i been on the hunt too. cause of prices, i gonna have to try to build them myself. i was thinking of going with smaller boxes, like these; http://www.boatbox.com.au/images/fit...tout%20010.JPG
i dont realy need the livewell option. just wanna put fresh water washdown in one, and storage in other. but if we can combine our resources and come up with a more affordable option, i wont be that picky about what style. tx

My concern would be to much weight on one side??

come up with some measurements and ideas, like what kind of opening, lid, internal measurements, live well, fitting of a gas tank, etc... you guys get the idea. Let me know and I'll get to work on getting an estimate on building them. the glass shop is a low volume general job shop, should be right down their alley. I'll make the plug and *mold( thats usually the most expensive part), but in order for this to work, we'll needa box that will fit everyones needs. some pics of existing setups would be nice
