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...
