the reason for the liner is I want to be an insulated fishbox with a macerator pumpout. In the event that actually ever catch a keeper fish it will keep well in there. And when I'm done I can pump out any blood,scales,etc out of it with no problems. That tub is actually an outdoor fish pond that you put in the ground. It looks pretty durable. After its foamed in it should be bullet proof.

"Blood and Scales" love it :) See I am 2 focus on Beer and Wine stored in this area :) lost sight of the fact this can and was meant to be a mean fishing machine ..I will agree with your approach seal the bulkheads off and foam it in..

I'm being optimistic with the "blood and scales". More realistic though it will be used as a beer cooler. No new pics yet. The other day I tabbed the fore and aft bulkheads to the remaining floor. I also tabbed in 2" strips of plywood around the floor cutout so when I put the floor back down it has something to rest on. I had to order a special low profile 1 1/2" 90 degree drain for the fishbox. It came in yesterday. Maybe today I will work on the fishbox plumbing. Tomorrow and Friday are supposed to be warmer. If thats the case I'm not going to work on the boat. I want to get out on my quad.

I was able to get the drain in the fishbox and run the hose up the starboard side of the boat. Its a really nice low profile 90 degree drain. With any luck I will be able to foam it in tomorrow morning. Then I'm going riding

latest update..
I finally got a new gas tank. I went with a moeller 55gal plastic tank. The fitment is great. Its a little shorter than the original so I will probably add another bulkhead behind it to keep it in place. Now I'm a little more motivated to work on the boat. More progress should be made real soon.

joeturse.. the part number is032555.
lumber.. that is one nice gas tank. S&P sheetmetal makes the best around. They quoted me a price of around $800. My tank cost me $380 so I had to get it. This weather must be killing your project down there on LBI.
