[QUOTE="bonz_d, post: 400917, member: 11276"] Nice boat. With the right amount of money and time anything can be done. I don't know the hull but I do believe those side boxes are structural to the boat hull and if removed to incorporate a rod locker or larger live-well then it should be done in such a way as to add that structural strength back into the boat. Agree about keeping as much wood as possible out of the build. Before I retired I worked were I had access to a metal fab shop which had a metal brake that I could use in my "off time". Was very useful in bending sheets to build panels. If looking for a live-well tank take a look at Great Lakes Skipper.com they have quite a selection of poly tanks of different sizes and shapes. I found one there that will fit what I'm looking for. [/QUOTE]
