I added a small box freezer to my boat. It is a Southbound Solar 60i multi voltage freezer, around $800 dollars. It works wonderful and does not drain the batteries. I added an extra solar panel for a total of 170 watts. So far the freezer works great. I dont know how I went without it for so long.
I did have to sacrifice the closet. It was pretty small and worthless. I am currently looking for a new place to hang the few items that need hanging (mostly rain gear). I will let you know how that go's soon.

| Here is the unfinished wood. It was Home Depot plywood. The whole project cost me just under $100.00 |

| In this photo you can see the 2x4 braces for the removable floor. I like using 2x4's because they are strong and cheep. I bolted them threw the bulkheads with nuts and bolts. The floor (not installed in this photo) is removable for access to the batteries and cables etc. |
