surely depends if you store them with the lid on / sealed and damp stuff in it?

Yep.
It will only be used for transporting Kit when I'm actually Cruiseing Chris...plus I can soon fit a Consul vent or two,which I had in mind anyway....as it may be used to carry Fuel cans if I do a long one
I think Plastic is the way to go rather than Fibre glass Mate,although I appreciate the offer....more impact resistant when it gets Lumpy!..plus I can bolt it in useing a plate and the Matrix bolts I had fiitted when I spec'd the Boat.
Im looking forward to seeing thier Range of Kit...maybe at the weekend if I can talk the "Peaky Blinder"into a run!?

These are the closest I can find to our needs Matt. Still a bit on the small side though. About the right width & depth but could do with being a foot higher. Keep looking

This would be ideal for me but can't find it on website.
Can anyone assist?

Think it's possibly the 190ltr one here

Apologies, those that asked, I've been working a lot. IIRC it was this one:
205 Litre XL Heavy Duty Water Resistant Lockable Plastic Storage Box

They do a slightly smaller one, which is quite a bit cheaper, but my customer had particular dims that they were specific about.

That's the one I linked to, still not big enough though. The footprint is about right, but could do with being taller.

Size wise, bang on Just needs to be a tad more "industrial" I didn't see that on the website when I had a troll through it, anything else hidden away on there?

The JBS 400 is about the right size & shape, not sure about the colour though

Just wondered if anyone knows thier range..and has used/experience of their stuff??

I dropped into Solent Plastics at Romsey today and what a lovely team of people. They have a large shop display of good of all types and sizes. Some can be used as watertight and can be sat on. ( obviously a bit priceier than norm)

They have some similar cases to Peli and are a fraction of costs. Got a large one at £35 which Peli woulf be at least another 100 added on.

Also a sealed box type which will keep damp and rain out and also a large one for horse rugs.

If people need similar they are very good and Director very helpful a Christopher Butcher 01794 514478 Water Resistant Plastic Storage Boxes and Trunks
