@Fins 2... Peg board with hooks and shelves maybe? Since ya don't mention budget (or size of boxes), I'll just toss out probably the cheapest way. I have no where near 40, but something like this should work. Holds hardware totes, larger hand tools, lines and cords great. A couple cheap furring strips screwed to studs in the wall, then either a full 4'x8' or half sheet of peg board screwed to those (gotta have a gap in the back for the hooks). Once that is mounted, there are numerous lengths and types of hooks and shelves readily available up to 12" or so, and always fully adjustable. Could also use to hold spare reels, line, bags, ropes and whatever else.

This is for 8 boxes.

 

They can be hooked together. Mount to the wall and you gain extra box space.

 

A Rubbermaid cabinet would probably hold twice that many. Never have to dig for a box again.

 

So do you strap that to your back or like bring a dolly to the lake? 🤣

 

Just put them on their sides and pull the one you want out like a book on a bookshelf.

 

My first thought was the bookshelf set up too. But I do like the look of that cabinet.

 

I thought I had it bad. LOL

 

My Ranger has tons of storage, the Hobie not so much

 

I keep my plano boxes in plastic crates - they are just the right size and you can stack them on top of each other to make "library shelves" for your Plano boxes. I add a label to the front of the Plano Box to indicate what type of lures it contains (Spinners/Chaterbaits/Rapalas/etc) I use one of the same crates inside my boat - each crate can store 6 boxes, and the crates are pretty cheap - Here's a picture one
