[QUOTE="Brine, post: 148510, member: 1053"] First thing I would do is fill that thing up with water to where you feel like "full" is, and make sure it doesn't want to buckle. It looks like it would be ok, but I'd make sure before going through the work. 25 gallons of water will weigh 208lbs in there. Also, I would guess that it won't have very good insulating capacity, so I'd make sure to have some ice readily available on hot days to keep the water cool. The easiets way I've seen without drilling any holes is to simply use a pump that's designed to sit in the water. The one you pictured is not. One pump, one hose, no holes in boat, no holes in box, no valves. Put pump in lake to fill, put pump in box to recirculate, put spraybar overboard to empty. [/QUOTE]
