[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 70046, member: 55"] I had that concern when I made mine, which uses a standard Rubbermaid tote. The biggest thing with it is the lid. When riveted on, it keeps the top in the right pattern, and keeps the sides from bowing out as easily. I have used mine in one tourney so far, and bouncing around in my boat in rougher water, it didn't have that problem. Russ only uses his boat in electric only waters, so it won't bounce around like mine. When I made mine (on a budget of about 15 bucks two days before a tourney - reason I didn't use a cooler, or fabricate a better tank) I figured if I had a problem with it bowing out, I would make a couple bands out of some 1.5 inch wide strips of sheet that always seemed to have to come off when I was building my deck.
