[QUOTE="meonline06, post: 320443, member: 8570"] I haven't had much time to work on the boat lately because of work. I got about an hour of build time in on Sunday and I planned on finishing up the livewell tank fabrication yesterday. Unfortunately, I only managed to get an hour in after a storm knocked the power out for most of the evening. ...So the plan is to make a livewell using repurposed aluminum from the original benches/deck.
