Look nice and can be lifted up and removed easily which was a requirement for me to get under it to get hooks, lures and tools out when they slide in the wrong place.  Cedar is a soft wood so you don't want to drop your 70 lb battery on it but other than that it's very functional. Had it out today breaking in a new Merc 15 hp 4 stroke that belongs on my 12' Duroboat and the thing flies at 3/4 throttle with just me in it. I have a 9.9 Tahatsu with electric start on order and should be here in Oct just in time for cold weather in Northern Idaho. It will most likely wait until Spring for break in time. The other advantage to cedar is the light weight. Good luck with yours and stay safe!!</p></blockquote><p></p>
