[QUOTE="Smo, post: 4542324, member: 12078"] CM, That sounds like a great project I’ve done a couple over the years myself. I love jug fishing for Cat. Which requires a little more room. I like a 16’ boat for cat fishing , the extra two foot gives more room from tackle and such. I’ve owned a couple of 18’ as well . Only problem with them was it takes half the river to turn one around , unless it’s a tiller handle. I’ve installed vertical rod holders in my boat that helps clear up floor space. I once used a rubber maid tool box the size of a truck tool box for a live well. I installed a drain in the bottom of the box and I had a bilge pump that I could pump water into the box with as well as circulate water in the box thru a pvc pipe mounted just under the lid. When not used as a live well it stored my diving compressor and life vest and such. When it was time to drain I’d just pull the plug and let the water run out into the bottom of the boat. Pull the boat drain plug and hose out the inside of the box as well as the inside of the boat. Keep us posted on the progress. [/QUOTE]
