  • Just Found a New Crate for My PA

    I'm guessing most folks on this board are OCD in one way or another.

    One manifestation of my OCD is the frustrating way a normal sized milk crate fit into the back of a PA12. There's basically a bunch of unused room because no crates (that I know of) fit the oddly shaped area.

    Earlier today I was at Walmart (confession, I hate Walmart on an intellectual/moral level, but I shop there for fishing stuff) and I noticed Sterilite was selling back-to-school organizers for $2.50, so I grabbed one. They had 4 or five colors to choose from.

    Turns out the width is almost a perfect fit, and it's about half the weight of a normal milk crate. I know milk crates aren't *that* heavy, but I suppose any human-powered vessel deserves to have weight taken into consideration. And it's only $2.50...probably less than the cost of a normal milk crate. Perhaps best of all, it doesn't LOOK like a milk crate on the back of my kayak :P

    Time will tell about how well the plastic stands up to UV.

    Comparison pictures. New crate is the OD on bottom.

    Nice. But now you look like you're on your way to school.
    Naw, it's good!
