[QUOTE="Buckethead, post: 442040, member: 9470"] Remove the bench seat, flip it upside down and cut the ends to where they'll fold up into an aluminum tank. I used stainless steel button head bolts with stainless nylock nuts and 3m5200 to seal it all up. My seat became a 22 gallon live well. If you want it in the same location in the boat you just make new structural mounts on each side from aluminum angle fastened to the gunwales with more stainless button head bolts, nylon washers, stainless steel nylock nuts and 5200. It's been since 2013 that I did mine during my build, no problems at all. I ran the full hose in the drain channel in the floor of the boat and the drain in the other drain channel. The overflow is a hose ran down the starboard side of the gunwale in the stiffing channel to a through hull fitting at the transom. The only thing I have left to do is install an aerator. I'll try to post a link to my build so you can see my pics. [/QUOTE]
