Live well ideas?

[chrisrub]

I've got an 85 V20 full transom Cuddy with the round in deck "live well" towards the stern of the boat. There is no water intake and it drains into the bilge. Has anyone had any luck getting this to work with two pumps? I know its too low to the water line to let the overflow drain. I'm very against letting the water drain into the bilge.

I was thinking about converting the storage box that the passenger seat is mounted to into a livewell and running a drain hose out the port side via a thru hull. Has anyone done anything like this with any luck?

I'm open to any ideas. I'd hate to clutter my open deck with anything like a cooler..

Thanks!
