The finished "fish coffin"

I got the idea for this on the Kayak Fishing Stuff forum.
Here's the finished cooler. It's 17" wide at the wide end, 28" long, and 12" and the other end. It's 8-1/2" high. It's made of 5mm luan plywood with 1" foam building insulation glued inside. The hinge is a piece of 1/4" tubing held in place by conduit straps. It's covered with fiberglass resin outside and all the inside corners are sealed with silicon RTV. I put a couple of coats of polyurethane paint inside and outside. It's very light weight, and low profile so that it doesn't catch a lot of wind or block vision. Now I just need to see how many fish will fit inside!
