I thought about using the area below the front seat, but I
didn't want to give up that storage. Also, there was that floor storage just behind the chairs that wasn't used at all; what a waste. The storage holds about 17 gallons. It is recommended that one scoop of bait requires 20 gallons. I figured if I'm going to build a well/tank, that I shouldn't skimp on the size. Basically, what I did was to build a cover for the floor storage and sealed it with silicone. I already has a through-the-hull connection for the bait pump and I just rerouted the hose. Also, that floor storage already had a drain. Researching bait tanks I found that they are made out of polypropylene. Lucky me there was a local plastic store and they had some polyethylene. Again from research, this stuff is supposed to be better. I measured, cut, screwed the stuff together and used silicone. I spent probably around $150 max for it. I think a good thing about this bait tank is that not only does it carry sufficient water, there is more room for the fish to swim around. Oh yeah, it is also recommended that the water flow is counter clockwise. :) The polyethylene I bought is 1/2" thick. I thought it wouldn't be strong enough, but I'm very impressed. I stood on top and it feels very secure and stable. I'll take more pictures of the bait tank and post later... |
