i was thinking about installing one of these on my boat.  Upon research, I was shocked at the prices of the trays that I saw available.  120 dollars was the cheapest one I found! wowsers.  I was thinking 20 to 40, I guess the price of metal has gone up.   Anyone made their own or know where I could find one cheaper?

Here you go.

If any of you guys have one of these and would be willing to give me a few dimensions, I would gladly post drawings on how to make this or have someone make this for you. Two options to make this would be either be steel with black powder paint or stainless steel brushed finish. I am a sheetmetal designer, so posting fab drawings is no bigee.

 

*********Mods would you have a problem with me posting fabrication drawing for someone to make these themselves? If so I won't post drawings on here.******

thanks guys, ill probably go with one of those.  A buddy of mine has the machines that could cut the metal peices but he said after you do that and find someone to bend and weld them together ur better off just buying one.

I bought mine off ebay i think it qas $80 for a metal one... worth every penny!
