[logan]

I know this doesn't answer your question. But wouldn't you rather build your own storage boxes from new wood versus old scaps. Also make sure you use marine grade wood. I tried useing untreated wood, and thought if I but three coats of paint on it, that it would last.....wrong! Also use marine grade astro turf if your going to use this stuff. THe typical patio style won't let it breath enough and you will get mold under there.
Good Luck!!

You can purchase new lids, boxes, livewells hinges ect. from Bass Pro Shops, West marine, or Cabellas.
