re: Lets see some outdoor related D-I-Y type projects

I got tired of having to haul my ice chest around in my boat all the time, limited space + a pain in the arse. So I pulled the seats out, and the floors up. Good thing, once I get everything out, I see some rotten wood under my seat. So I replace the seat support, and cut my hinge to the seats will hinge individually and not as one bench. Build a 18x16x6 box out of 3/4" treated ply wood, drill out a drain hole, silicone the corners, and the drain plug (PVC pipe), 4 coats of fiberglass, and 2 coats of paint. Ran a piece of old water hose out of the drain plug down to the bottom of my boat in the bilge area. Tried it out the first time on Monday and damn thing held ice all day.
