fish hold

HMMMMMMM I wonder if I can find a rectangular waterproof hatch the size of the fish hold and put a liner in it... would be really nice to have DRY storage there

Only thing you have to be careful about is the strength of the hatch material. Most are made of some sort of plastic, and a large one would not be good to stand on I think. Might be better to make one out of f-glass or starboard.

if you are catching big fish, a good fish bag is hard to beat.

+1 on the fish bag. Folds and takes up very little room when not in use. Keep your ice in the bags in your fish hold, pull out the fish bag once you need it and transfer some ice to the bag & fish, then put it wherever you want. A couple other things - makes it easy to offload the catch, easy to clean the bag, and when the dnr stops you they don't have to bother boarding you to count/measure fish - just hand them the bag. Mine saved our butts when we landed a 50lb class yft, no way was gonna fit anywhere but the bag. I keep looking to stuff a big wahoo in it one day.
