That gun box is wide enough to sit on - 2 adults or 3 kids..... easy. Its made from aluminum. I attatched it to the boat with something called a riv-nut. Its a way to have a backing nut someplace where you can't get your hands. You drill a hole then use something similar to a rivet gun. Once the riv-nut is in place you bolt the item down.
Check around you might be able to find a pre-built gun box somewhere. Mine came from mud buddy, but it was built specifically for my hull. I think beavertail used to make one.
