[QUOTE="Jdholmes, post: 228332, member: 6982"] So I think design wise for the decking, which I have been spending a lot of time mulling over..,,I think my original plan has changed. I was going to just do an elevated casting deck on the front most part and keep the original floor on the rest of it, just flatten it. Thing is, I really think a live well is going to be important to have for me. So I thought of doing the cool thing and putting it in front of th middle seat. When I put one there to check for size it just seemed to take up so much space that there was no way to get around it conveniently...it became an obstruction and seemed like it would be a pain in the butt. The only way I can figure to make it convenient is to carry the casting deck to the back of the middle seat so the live well is built into the floor. If you can think of any ideas let me know! I also was considering doing the live well with the bottom part of an outdoor Rubbermaid garbage can instead of the cooler...the reason I am considering this is because round is better than rectangle, I have read. Just a thought...but if I do that I don't know how I would keep the water from sloshing around... [/QUOTE]
