Hi Guys: I mentioned buying a T-Top Electronics Box from E-bay for $50.00 and that included shipping. The ad said some damage and showed pictures that looked bad. I decided to order one thinking I could sand and repaint it. I got it today. It is brand new (from China) with NO BLEMISHES OR DEFECTS. The door is not like the ad picture. It is dark plexiglass with no logo. The only problem I see is the "lock is locked" and No Key. They have 8 left. I think their China supplier "goofed" and didn't want them shipped back to replace the key and lock and told stryker to get rid of them. They have two speaker holes 4" diameter with no speakers (I'm buying cheap speakers to fill the holes). Check the ones they are selling with speakers for over $300.00. They are exactly like this one except the noted differences I referred above. I removed the six hinge screws using a metric 2.5 allen wrench and a screwdriver wedged behind the panel to apply a little pressure and stop nut from turning. I removed the old lock. Looked at it and remembered I had an old "home alarm system box in basement with a lock set-up like the one on the box. With a little work, it fit and works perfectly. I going to hook up the speakers, but, I am going "mainly" to use it as a lock box for my Radio, GPS and Fishfinder when I'm not using the boat. WANT ONE? Go to e-bay. Type in Boat Electronics Box in the search and you will find both the $50.00 box and the $300.00 plus box. There are 8 left as of 12:30 am Sunday.
