great idea on the livewell , just a little constructive criticism and you may of already addressed this but what about some kind of insulation for the barrell to keep from heating up the water so quickly during the summer?

Good point on the livewell, and I did consider this, but the water is exchanged when it's running so it really shouldn't get too warm. Time will tell..

Question for you. Did you put any Styrofoam under your frame?

Yes, I put some scrap pieces of foam under the deck, but I doubt that it's enough to prevent sinking. This boat will never be on water big enough to be too far from the shore and I've since installed a bilge pump so hopefully I'm okay.

I have personally fished out of this boat and it is awesome! Just needs a place to put my beer and a waterproof compartment for cell phones since it ALWAYS rains when we go.
