    As above I took my drawers out a while ago and have been running crates for a while.

    Just took these boxes on the weekend and it was a dream.

    Everything packed in perfectly and could leave it outside no problem.

    As above, but the GQ rear is tight so adding drawers kills a third of your space and doesn't leave much for other things you need to carry at times.

    On the weekend when getting wood was easy to just throw it in the back rather than the roof.

    Love the boxes mate!!!

    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

    Bit of an update -

    Good news - starting to get some retailers on board now.

    Taylors Marine in Perth is on-board and we just sent them some stock. Dave Littlejohn is the bloke to ask for there.

    Oceanic Agencies on the Sunny Coast now has them too and is supplying them into the Commercial fishing and prawning fleets.

    FNQ Plastics and Decked Out Fabrication in Cairns are also on-board with stock.

    The local TJM bloke in Cairns owns stores in Mackay, Mt Isa, Townsvill and Darwin, and is keen to get them in. We are talking with them this week to see what can be done for stock numbers.

    And of course TOUSES from this forum, has them in Childers! Thanks again mate for the support and early faith in the idea.

    The next production run will be as soon as we can get the custom seal sorted again and cut it all to the correct size. Yep, that is done by hand, by us, unfortunately...

    At the moment we will do the Drab Olive colour, the Safety Orange and some more Grey. Still working to get the Desert Tan correct and having to do a lot of waiting on samples. It is a finnicky one to get just right despite providing colour codes.

    There has been some great feedback coming in. Really loving to hear this and it sure helps to spread the word or convince a retailer to take a look when we are able to show them what is being said. Huge thanks for this guys!

    Cheers mate, very much appreciated.

    @MB - a horsie person from Cuzzybro land wants them in your suggested colours of pink and purple too. So you aren't on your lonesome afterall.

    We took our box away camping last weekend and it was great. The wife loved it to pack food into. It seals like a giant Tupperware container. She really praised it.
    I can't wait for the next production run. I'll definitely be getting one of each of the new colours.

    Cheers guys - great news. Glad you like them.

    We've put in the PO for another run and are now waiting for the machines to be available. Colours are the drab olive and the safety orange this time around and we are hoping they will be available to ship before Christmas too.

    FNQ plastics in Cairns is running a two box give-away competition on Facebook too if anyone is in that neck of the woods and wants to enter.
