I have owned a watercraft concept seatbox for five years now, and it has accompanied me on numerous (too many for my wife’s liking) fishing trips.
The box is made of a durable high quality plastic, and consists of a base unit that is large enough to carry a couple of reels, bait boxes, flask, catapult and importantly some tucker. The base is strengthened to take adjustable legs like the company octoplus make, and with these added to the box, you are always gonna be on a level sitting. This helps to make you a bit more comfortable during your days fishing, and you can then add the excellent range of octoplus accessories to your box.
The upper section of this box consists of a pole winder storage compartment, and four drawers which can be accessed from either side of the box, this means that once you are seated and fishing you can get to things like shot and hooks without getting off the box. These drawers can be made into sixteen different sections, so you can keep all your accessories nice and neat. The drawers have a locking system to keep them shut; this has not failed in five years of use.
Available in three colour combinations: Black and Green Black and Red Black and Blue And with a retail price of approx. £160 although you can usually get it cheaper by buying it mail order. Also a padded strap is available for approx. £8 and I would recommend you get one of these if you have to carry the box for a long distance as it helps your shoulder.
This may seem a bit expensive, but with five years use (which includes being dropped down river banks and thrown over fences) and still performing like new, it probably represents good value for money. I know I’m happy with it and I’m expecting to get at least another five years use from it (if the wife lets me go that is).

I've had a BOSS box now for about 3 years, but to be honest, the Watercraft boxes, being plastic, definitely have some advantages over some of the more expensive ones. Good op. Ben

A very useful opinion you have taught me everyting I needed to know about Seatbox and what it holds, without knowing the prices of similar box's I suppose £160 is a good price to keep all the bits, a highly informative opinion, many thanks.
