Supra Trash Can Chute behind driver seat

[SONIC]

So I've been dicking around with this design and wanted to hear peoples thoughts.
Worthwhile or no?

I did all this design and made it and then the wife said "why not just pull the whole thing out and make the whole thing a trash chute"
She has a solid logic even if it's infuriating lol.

Opinions? It's yet to be anodized, it will look like all the rest of the aluminum in the boat.

Excellent taste in beer (Go Texas) but if you dropped that bottle of Shiner from that height on to other glass bottles underneath in the trash can, I feel like there would be broken glass.

One of my hard rules is no glass in a space meant for bare feet.

Looks cool though, I'd order one for my imaginary Supra

Just realized the Supras have trash cans below that already... Im just a poor they gave me a small hatch in the bottom of the boat the size of a 2L for trash.. Even worse everyone was super excited about it???

But I think that is an amazing idea! I know I would use it like crazy as really a quick beer reload is essential to a good day on the water. I also wouldn't worry about glass breaking at that height falling into plastic or other glass.

I like the idea. Will probably put something different on my SL this summer, but not sure what.

There is a guy on Facebook that has been making them from plastic. I think his latest design was to also put phone charger into the unit. I think his model has a bottom on the cup-holder that supports a Yeti cup, but will also be a trash chute if you push a can and the bottom opens to a trash bag.

Some else built and posted a chute that looked like a little door with a hinge and push-button to open and close. Bigger than a cup holder - rectangle shape. The door had vinyl on top and blended in.

Cool idea. They all need bigger trash cans under there to support trash bags. At the end of the day, pull the bag, off you go, ready for the next outing.

Thanks guys,

I guess the question is should I eliminate the phone slots and just make it a bigger trash opening? And if so would people be interested in the aluminum piece or would you rather just pull the plastic piece out and have a hole?

I was really excited about it until the wife said shed rather I just pull the piece and leave the hole big so she can throw away more than beer. (like there's anything "more" than beer) She also said no one puts their phone there anyway which is probably true.

Yep I've seen his but the whole point of this to me is to eliminate some of the cheap plastic junk and replace with aluminum to add to the high end feel. The 3d printed stuff looks way cheaper than the factory plastic, be it functional or not.
I agree on the trash can I think I can fit a much larger can in there and be good to go.

My SA has the 2 tiny trash cans built in, one under the floor and one behind the hatch in the observer compartment. They have to be emptied about 3 times a day though which is very annoying.

I would like at least one phone slot, I don’t think the opening needs to be bigger as long as a can and bottle fits through.

Much prefer billet versus 3D print

Dunno yet, depends how many people want them I suppose. A lot more machine time and material than the pulls.
I've just always thought that plastic part didn't belong when the rest of the boat is machined aluminum

First of all...who brings glass bottles on the boat to the lake?

I use the storage portion for phones, can of Copenhagen, the ladies put sunglasses, ponytail holders, etc. We also drink a lot of beer so we typically flatten our beer cans to save space in the tiny trash can that lives underneath.

Definitely billet and definitely 2 phone slots with charger. Is the trash opening as big as it can possibly be, or is there room to make it a little bigger?
