Needs to be dunk proof, is it a good waterproof zipper closure that makes such a small item so relatively expensive? Thanks - - Dan Dan, I just purchased a SealLine Deck bag (can't remember the "model" name or number). It has a (so far) waterproof or at least highly water resistant zipper with storm flap, bungies on top (especially nice if you cover up your forward deck bungies with the bag), D rings and bungie sections with clips to attach it to you boat, and a small mesh pouch on the front for wet-able things. It also has a plastic stiffener so it works more like a compartment than a "bag" on your deck. It also comes with a shoulder strap in case you want to use it for excursions or something. It took some thinkin' to get it attached conveniently to my boat (Dagger Edisto), as it's pretty wide. Since I have a relatively wide boat (24.25", I think), a really narrow boat might not fit it as well. Cost was reasonable (US$ 61.95), compared to the drycell deck bag pushed by Perception and Dagger (Aside: I know that Dagger and Perception are owned by the same parent company now, but has anyone noticed that their accessories are identical?) which goes for over $100, more for the map case and mesh bag.
