My inlaws were building a beach house on the coast of NC. After years of going to the beach for family vacation and always renting houses that had water access and boat access, but no where to clean fish when we would return from the pier or boat, I decided to embark on a mission. I was introduced to the Kreg Jig work bench plans and felt that I could adapt this plan into what I wanted to do. I used all pressure treated lunber (including the plywood) and stainless steel fasteners. This did increase the cost, but was necessary for the intended location. I purchased a slab of cutting board material from USplastics.com (24" x 48") and glued and screwed it to the plywood bench top. I then mounted a bar sink and faucet for cold water access and it can either be set up on a dock to drain directly back into the water, or a 5 gallon bucket can be placed below the drain, obviously it could be piped to the drain system of the house also. It came out great. Father in law loved it, and I can't wait to see it get good use.
