New seat with built in livewell

[captpete13]

My wife has been asking me to raise the passenger seat so she can see better. She is short. Instead of blowing her off like I usually do I saw this as an opportunity to build a cool seat. I used the original base as a template. I just built it taller. Once the base was built out of plywood I covered it in a layer of fiberglass and painted it with Awlgrip. Then I used the original back to back seat but I fastened it to starboard so it can't open. Then I cut in tackle storage to the front. It holds 3 regular Plano boxes and 1 large box. In the back I foamed in a 5 gallon bucket which I plumbed to be a livewell. The seat is hinged so you just lift up the seat and access the live well.
I don't have a picture yet but I topped off the livewell with a plexiglass cover.
