[QUOTE="redbug, post: 30988, member: 71"] first welcome to the site. I owned a crawdad I got mine the first year they came out. I remover the plastic seats and cross supports and added a 3/4" plywood floor. I also removed the front and rear plastic decking and replaced them with wood I added a small tractor battery under the front deck for my depth finder I cut a space in the foam to make room. in the rear I cut the foam and made space to add a bait bucket. As far as a live well I just used a cooler and portable pump, you can make your hose long enough to hang over the side and pump in fresh water as often as needed. I went with pedestal seats in mine and used the bigger base style mounted to the floor with carriage bolts that went through 2 stop signs for support. I would really think about the glass bottom before cutting a hole in your boat if if works it would be nice BUT if it doesn't you will be the owner of $275 of worthless plastic.. these boats are fairly stable but the floor will flex when you move around Wayne [/QUOTE]
