[QUOTE="hotrod5337, post: 450564, member: 22428"] thanks guys for the kind words, first boat ive done like this and my son and i had fun working on it. the live well works good. if anything else i prob could have used a smaller pump. when it aereates its kinda loud. next time im out ill get some video of it. cost wise i cant remember. it wasnt much for the pvc valves and hose and the pump was bought on the cheap as it was an open box return. the livewell itself was kinda pricey tho. i did not use vertical supports.... yet. the aluminum channel was heavy and i did test it with laying a peice of 2x across the 3 braces to see if i could bounce and flex them but i couldnt. so i decided to hold off. and i used 3/4" plywood as well. so we'll see. my 11 yr old will be spending most of the time up there anyway. only thing i was concerned with it the rivets eventually possibly working themself loose. i may go back and tig around the support clips. only time i think not having vertical support will be a problem maybe is if an adult is sitting in the seat up front. but two of the six holes in the pedestal flange is bolted thru the aluminum channel and has the plywood sandwhiched between. prob wouldnt hurt to add a vertical support under the pedestal tho n play it safe thanks again guys!
