1442 G3 Modification

[sjbs07]

Started a project nearly complete 2010 G3 1442 jon boat. I first build a custom 24 gallon livewell with freshwater pump-in and recirc pump. Made from .090 aluminum all welded seams. The boat had no built-in livewell and I wanted to maintain the floatation where most people cut out the seats and install the livewells. Next I framed the boat in cedar 1X4 supported with 1X1 aluminum angle sealed the wood with several coats of spar varnish. Then plywood with serveral more coats of spar varnish. Installed a fuse panel and toggle switch panel for pumps and nav lights.

Very nice livewell, how much did that set you back?

I fabricated the livewell at work only cost was fittings and pumps. I ordered all my fittings from Flow-Rite.

Nice work! I like the open deck design, eliminating bench seats and other clutter.

Almost reminds me of the crackhead on the episode of the Sopranos where Tony is checking out a neighborhood where they bought houses to gut the copper pipe, etc...the one where AJ says..."So that's a crack ho!" LMAO
