    livewell

    Thanx for the help guys. I've been looking at a 100 qt Igloo. The thing about it is it has a small lid at one end to drop the fish in without having to open the big lid. 50/60 might be enough but I like the idea of a larger cooler with less water. Again , thanx guys. Maybe I can post some pics...

    Grumman 14' Scrambler Questions (Lot's)

    That's flotation foam. They use it to help keep the boat afloat in case of being capsized or swamped. You'll also find it under the seat. Personally I wouldn't remove it but there are plenty of tins out there with the foam removed. Some guys use blue/pink foam insulation to replace it. Not the...
