  Elle, I have a hardware-store-bought Rubbermaid container that just makes it
under that starboard seat at the stern-end, then slides forward to the front
of the cockpit and won't clear the seat (i.e., won't slide out from under
seat). I'll see what size it is when I go down to the boat next. It holds
a heavy 3/4" anchor line in my boat but could hold bags of sand or whatever
else.
