for now i have it wired to an on/off switch. periodically i will pump fresh water in as needed.

here is a link to my youtube video of the livewell running... i need to shorten the drain tube so there isn't as much water but other than that it works great! https://youtu.be/d1nZCtBua1w also a couple pics from today...

thank you very much! the livewell is supported by the two 2x4's attached to the bottom of the livewell box. those 2x4's rest on the bottom of the boat and then the top of the box is screwed into the framing for the decking.

livewell completed... found a "plug' at home depot that fits the factory drain tube from the original livewell ... (had to be hammered in and sealed with marine sealant) finished product...

got to work on the livewell today... used a hole saw to cut the drain and fill holes and installed the plumbing for them. the pipe in the middle is removable to allow complete draining of the livewell when out of the water. this system will run off one pump pumping fresh water in. it will fill...

Thank You I will probably take you up on that offer... Did you have a forum going for your rebuild?? yes i do... check my "signature" for all of my builds but here is the direct link to my old bass tracker: https://forum.tinboats.net/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=29582

i used to own the same boat... as you stated my live wells were welded to the fill/drain tubes and without cutting them there was no way to remove. I left them where they were and built around them. you can check out my build or feel free to ask any questions.. "Bass Tracker III." in my signature

finished the decking, carpet, and hatches this weekend... all thats left is the plumbing for the livewell. parts are ordered and on the way! hatches... livewell...

got a little bit of work done on the new tin... still a LOT left to do... ordered all the parts to make the center tote a livewell. TONS of carpet to install, hatches to cut out, electrical wires to run, and throwing around the idea of a rod box.

been awhile since I've posted on here... figured id check in and post a few updates! this is what i have been up to.. fishing the FLW BFL series bass tournaments my rig... 2011 Ford F150, 2012 Skeeter ZX20 with Yamaha 250, and 2016 Palomino 550 camper had a buddy give me this 14ft (skinny...

there are a lot better ways to paint than how i did and a lot better paints to use... but what i did was pressure wash the boat real good and then used a scotch brite pad or 800-1000 grit sand paper and scuffed up the boat... then i rinsed and let the boat dry before spraying the boat with...

got to run the boat today with the "mini tach"... fluctuated quite a bit? but the average steady number was between 5600 and 5800 rpms at WOT. that being said i believe it would be safe to go up in pitch?

this is the stuff i used... the maint guys at my apartment complex gave me a couple cans but i didnt even use all of one

"mount another 9.9 on the back" lol... your funny! as far as the stainless prop they actually do make them and they are lighter/thinner/more durable than the aluminum prop which means more efficient and longer lasting! im only talking about gaining 1-2mph but on these hp restricted lakes that...

got the boat out yesterday... before going i removed one of the trolling motor batteries from the front and put it in the back hoping to bring the nose of the boat up out of the water a little bit. I also took a file to my old banged up prop and cleaned it up as best as possible. last weekend i...

engine is a 96 johnson 9.9 converted to 15... was only getting 14mph the other day... cleaned up the prop with a file last night and got 18mph today all day! much better until i check my rpm's with a tach that just came in the mail today and then get a new prop accordingly...

BEST LOOKING BASS TRACKER!!!

builds looking great!!! gonna be a great boat when your finished... i checked out that prop calculator... how did you figure out your gear ratio? also... when i enter my info it tells me i have around .20-.25 perfect prop slip! how do you reduce prop slip? my current prop needs to be replaced...

scored some coil/condenser cleaner today for free and went to work on the boat! turned out pretty good for about 45minutes of work. only hit it one time so its not perfect but my boat isnt perfect so im not too worried about it. Before/After also ordered a ''Mini-Tach" on ebay for $25 so...
