I have done something similar for decades. I get Joe at Southside to cut the top passenger side of my bench seat out, bout 24" from gunnel towards the center the full depth of the bench. He then adds structure under there to support weight now that the seat has been compromised. He bends a tight fitting lid and welds a continuous hinge on the front side so it doesn't fly open while underway. I usually put one of my batteries there along with a ton of various and assorted necessities for boating.
