130 sport underseat storage

I don't care if it is removable and it is anchored with straps (like the gas tank) or if I have to get someone to install a built-in unit. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Since the system was custom fit, I was able to screw it to the underside of the seat only so no holes needed to be drilled in the deck.

I cut the screws flush with the nuts so I wouldn't be snagging anything on them. The fender washers were probably overkill, but I had them on hand and they do spread out the load extremely well. On the tackle drawers I used screws only, although I did put some adhesive (3M 4200) on the screws to keep them from backing out. Roy
