including 3 pics of project area to get a better idea of task at hand.
one pic is of inside wall of cabin area (starboard side)
2nd pic is paper drawing of approximate area to work with.
Top from left to right is 22 1/2"
1/2 way down that wall is 25"
inside wall area is narrower at top than bottom (slight taper)
Height of inside wall is 31"
last picture is of the outside wall starboard side of Center Console where any fasteners will be seen.
You can see from those dimensions that it is going to be impossible to go three wide as Guppy did in his boat. Since 3 of my Plano boxes side to side touching measures 27" it looks like For me 2 plano boxes wide will be the most I could go with. Since storing only 2 boxes is really not much I was wondering if I could go 2 deep which would allow me 4 stored boxes total. I would be happy with that. If I could I don't know whether a divider between the two boxes would be necessary as apposed to just letting the 2 boxes side "touching" ?? plus it would reduce overall "hanging" weight without the divider from front to back, just one divider from side to side.
i take it I should be using this starboard material ? Does it come in different thicknesses ? where to buy ?
One last concern. The project wall that I would be attaching this shelf to does have a very slight taper as the lower console does get narrower from drivers seat to front of windshield so this Starboard "might" not have a perfect flush fit against wall which might lead to problems ...maybe ? wondering if I could be somehow adding support/filler to wall prior to attaching starboard to even out load.
I don't think gap is severe but the more support the better. Wonder if they make some type of H.D. expandable foam that would take up all gaps for better support. The stronger the better.
Most of my Plano boxes are 9" x 14" x 2"
