All this down time with the corona thing has me tweaking and updating all the things I never could get done during the season, which I guess isnt such a bad thing.
Im guessing many of the older 208's out there have pretty beat up tackle box doors just like mine. I had boatoutfitters make me one for the starboard side, and doing the dry fitting now. Should be getting the port side one in a week or so. I ordered it a tad larger than the opening size already there, just opening it up about 1/8" all the way around. Here is a couple of pics before. I'll post "After" pics once I do the final install
(Notice the thickness of the glass on the sanded edge)

Looks great. Where did you get the seal and how is it attached?

It's an option when you do "build your own door" on their website. I believe it sits in a routed T channel.
I think you can buy it separately by the foot on their website

Love Boatoutfitters. Replaced all the hatches on my old Whaler and added a drawers with their stuff. Top notch.
