[QUOTE="jigngrub, post: 370309, member: 6657"] It sounds like you have quite a bit of work to do to make that boat safe/sea worthy before you start thinking about a livewell. 1. Remove and replace pressure treated lumber with non-pressure treated lumber. (PT is highly corrosive to aluminum) 2. Install bracing or decks to compensate for the loss of structural strength due to the removal of the 2 benches. 3. Install floatation foam to compensate for the foam that was removed for the bastardization of that boat. Then when all that's done you can go to Basspro or Cabelas online and they have the plastic tub inserts for livewells, pumps, and hoses. [/QUOTE]
