[QUOTE="KenG, post: 103566, member: 778"] At the higher level, I'd have to build up above the bench seat about 6 - 8 inches. The existing livewell is basically just an aluminum box with hinged lid. To raise its sides, I'd probably have to cut out the top opening about an inch all around, then build another 6 - 8 inches of wall on all fours sides. I am brainstorming maybe buying some sort of premade box that I could drop in from the top, but I don't know how to rework the thru-hull drain. Anyway, I'll figure something out. I was also thinking I could line the inside with foam to make it an insulated space. I really don't use it as a livewell, but as a drink cooler:) I'm into catch-and-release and don't fish tournaments. [/QUOTE]
