rubble Posted December 28, 2023 Report Share Posted December 28, 2023 Looking for some good watertight totes to use in my truck and boat. Have a couple of Yeti Go Boxes and really like them but man those things aren't budget friendly. Looking for other options and was curious what others here have found to be solid alternatives?

MuddyBottomBluz Posted December 28, 2023 Report Share Posted December 28, 2023 This is what I went with for the boat. I have different colors indicating what is in the case's. I.E. Black = Tools Tan = First Aid Orange = Safety Equipment Very happy with them, work well. The foam can be modified to hold items securely. Oh and the price is right too! https://www.harborfreight.com/material-handling/parts-storage/utility-cases-ammo-boxes/3800-weatherproof-protective-case-large-orange-56766.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fin-addict Posted December 28, 2023 Report Share Posted December 28, 2023 For boat I used watertight bags like those for camping or kayaking. Bags come in different colors and sizes with fold up top opening and securing strap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking for Hard Boxes to keep in truck bed and on boat deck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked for some of these last trip to Costco/Sams. Forgot about harbor freight and just had one open up near me. Still need some larger boxes but these are actually great as they can go inside hatches if in boat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is where mine reside, inside hatches and center console. Believe it or not I thought the vent on them were foolish but they are needed cause they actually seal pretty darn good!

Big Dave Posted December 28, 2023 Report Share Posted December 28, 2023 Costco had some that are very similar, at about 1/3 the cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubble Posted December 30, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2023 Thank you all. I’m a bit of a gear/EDC fan/nerd. Here is a video that shows some good gets from Harbor Freight. They mention the Apache boxes as well as some modular tool boxes that would be in line with the budget Go Box need. Wanted to share as I know there are some like minded folks in here. The modular boxes look to be exactly what I’m looking for storing gear in my truck. I’m not a big Harbor Freight fan but they do have some things that check some boxes.
