Its my cousins boat, we fish a lot and some tournaments together. he lives 2 miles away and he keeps the back two compartments open. i could probably fit 20, 3700 size boxes. but, i just like to be minimalistic and know where all my stuff is.

You need as many tackle boxes as it takes to hold all your stuff! Haha. I know that's a stupid answer but it's the truth. In my experiences, those who are into bass fishing tend to accumulate lots of baits as the years go by. As your collection grows, you'll need more boxes to put baits in. If you can get away with putting everything in 4 boxes, then that's great. If you need more, then get more.  If you're concerned about not knowing where things are, then you need to get organized. Just as an example, I've got 4 trays just for my crankbaits. Each one is labeled and they are broken down by diving depth. I've got one tray for my wake baits and XL sized square bills, 1 for crankbaits that run from 2'-5', 1 from 6'-10', and finally one for those that run 10'+. Within each box I try to organize them by color and what water condition they are used for. Left column is for those best used in muddy water, the middle is for stained, and the right is for clearer water. That way I know exactly where everything is no matter how many boxes I have. If you start getting too much to take with you, go ahead and buy and extra box that you can use as a day box. That way you can mix and match from your other trays and fill it with baits that you know you will be using just that day.
