I finished my transom table/cooler rack. This idea was given to my CARPY and the table that he built. It is the same design but different materials. I decided to go with this design because it is the most versatilefor me. It adds a lot of usable space to the boat. Gets the cooler off the ground, Can be used as a table, or to hold a generator etc...could even be used as a cutting/bait board. It is also easily removable by just removing the transom bar. Thank you Carpy for the great idea!

I sized this table to fit a YETI 110 cooler which I will be buying soon

All hardware is SS 316 and the material is King Starboard. Came out to be pricey but at least I will never have to worry about any maintenance or the material going bad.

I still don't know how to add pics on the link so just check out my album. It is labeled Table 1 and Table 2. Thanks.
 
It looks great! May it serve you well!
I might suggest a couple of drain holes so that your cooler won't be sitting in a puddle.

Love the cooler/cut table. I am thinking of manufacturing one of these too. Where did you acquire the stainless steel bar?

Thanks,

Very nice. Good details such as round over routing etc. I'll bet you are still picking Starboard saw-dust off your clothes though. Small price to pay for a great result!
 
Grazer, I bought the SS 316 round bar from a local Metal shop. Gorilla Metals in Oakland, Ca. I bought the hardware at http://marinepartdepot.com/

The Starboard material is from Tap plastics

Its been almost 2 years since I've made it and I'm very happy with it. Depending on what I"m doing with the boat it serves to hold a cooler (added a couple of tie downs to secure it) , a generator or a bait tank. I also bought another piece of starboard that fits on the top and inside of the lip that I use as a cutting board to fillet fresh catch. Its also is just simply used as a table and is kept in good condition since most the time the cutting board is in place which protects it. Very versatile and highly recommended mod. At first I was purely looking for a cooler mount and got this idea from another user on the forum. I'm glad I didn't opt for a just a cooler mount.
 
Thanks for all the links to source out the raw materials for this project. It looks like it is totally worth doing. I never even thought about adding a cushion for a seat back there but that would also work. Thanks again.
