[QUOTE="SrPhatness, post: 122969, member: 2387"] I took the pressure treated 1/2" ply back and got some stuff called DRYBOARD from Menard's It's just under 3/4" thick and surprisingly not much heavier then the 1/2" PT. Ive got a pretty good idea of how I"m going to do everything, except the live-well. I don't know how I'm going to put a partitioned live-well (for bait and fish) in the middle bench that is only 8 1/8" wide and about 11"tall. I'm thinking about gluing some plywood to the front and back of the bench for structural purposes. Then cut the top of the bench completely off and using that aluminum to seal off the bottom and making the partition. The only problem is I don't know how to weld. So I need to find a way to seal all of the seams. I think I could use some sort of silicone or adhesive to do the bottom and side wall seams, but I don't think I can for the partition. Wish I knew how to weld. Maybe do away with the partition and just keep the bait in some sort of container in the live-well. Does that idea make any sense? Then I will just make a plywood lid to keep the fish and bait out of the sun. [/QUOTE]
