I left the engin cover there as it is a great place to cut bait, lean when jigging, ect ect.

I toyed with the idea of taking it out a few different times, but it is always been great to have there!!

So what I did is added a 25gal gas tank there as I have saddle bag tanks under the gunnels, 20 each, so now I have 65 gal and can go were ever I am going to go!!

I made my bait tank out of a 55 gal barrle long ago and all I did now is cut it down a hair shorter and I keep it empty under the engin cover on to of the gas tank.

When I want to use it it is always there and not in the way!! But when I use it it comes out on deck right in front of the engin cover.

Its a little big but when I am live lining there are only 2 lines in at a time and only two of us. If a third person goes I will drive while they fish and so on. It works out great!!
I use to always leave it at home and then whis I had it :( But now it is always there and out of the way.
