[QUOTE="Whoopbass, post: 370439, member: 2243"] I had a 15' aluminum v-hull boat and I put a livewell in the middle bench. I made it out of fiberglass. It's fairly easy to do and cheaper then drop in livewells that won't fit right. I probably did not use it more then 20 times over the years but it never leaked, cracked, or created any issues with the boat. I used some thick plexi glass on each side for the top and the bench seat/lid covered the rest. I don't remember any water ever splashing out. The bench is too wide to make it entirely a livewell so I screwed some plywood on each side inside the bench and basically just glassed in a box. It was the first time I ever used fiberglass and it turned out so don't be scared to do it. [/QUOTE]
