As much as I believe Just Encase boxes are just plain silly, in this case I think it may be your best option. If you plan to keep this boat for a number of years (not your usual pattern of behavior), the high cost of the Just Encase box may be justified and add to the resale value of the boat. It may give you more options and be more versatile than a do it yourself project. Even if you don't keep the boat for a number of years, the Just Encase box can be removed and be sold separately or the Just Encase box may even fit your next boat and it can be designed to hold gear other than lures. I don't believe putting a wood deck into a new boat is a good idea. While it may have value to you, I don't believe that many potential buyers will find it attractive. Another option could be having a casting deck made by a boat repair shop. I had this done on a Stratos and two Tuffys and the cost was always less than $450.
