I have a 2005 130 sport. I am looking for a storage unit to fit under the seat. 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.

I am thinking of netting under the front seat to hold PFD's. I am not as concerned with dry storage as storage to keep things from flying out.

Royboy-
Nice work with the storage. how did you mount the rod holders on the cooler?
did you use any adhesive on the starboard tackle box or is it just screwed together?
Thanks

I just use a zippered gear bag. Spare prop, prop wrench, tools ect. Fits nice and snug under the rear seat between the center support and battery.

I secured the rod holers to my coolers with 3M 5200 and through bolted them with stailess steel screws, nuts, and fender washers. 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.
