A recessed storage compartment is integrally formed into the deck of a boat for containment of tackle storage trays and other articles. The storage compartment includes a container having four side walls with upper and lower edges and a bottom wall attached to the lower edges of the side walls. Oppositely oriented ones of the side walls include a plurality of troughs and guides extending from top to bottom for vertical containment of the storage trays where the distances separating the troughs of one side wall from corresponding troughs of the oppositely oriented side wall are greater than a dimension of the trays, and the distances separating the guides of one side wall from corresponding ones of the opposite side wall are less than the same dimension of the trays. A raised edge adjacent the upper edges of the side walls inhibits intrusion of water into the container. A hinged lid is movable between a fully open position providing access to the compartment and a fully closed position in which access to the compartment is restricted. Minimal size of the troughs and guides enables the compartment to be used as a general utility box when not filled with trays.
