[QUOTE="Brine, post: 73228, member: 1053"] Quick update. No pics, but I filled some holes in the livewell, and found some storage totes (Cambro) from a restaurant supply for $12.95 that I think will work good where I cut out the seats. Didn't buy them, but now I know where to get them when the time comes if I don't come up with a better solution. Haven't tested the livewell for leaks yet, so I'll do that in the next couple days and I ordered the Steelflex on Friday. Picked up 4 sticks of 1.5 x 1.5 x .125 angle aluminum, but I need some aluminum sheet before I can go much further. Gonna go by the scrap yard this week and see what they got. If I don't see something there, I'm gunna have to bite the bullet and buy a sheet of 4 x 8 form Metal Supermarkets. The more I work on the livewell, the more I question using it. It seems a touch on the small side. God forbid I ever have a 20+# sack to weigh in someday. It looks like it will be fairly tight. I haven't bothered to figure out how much water it holds yet, but if it's less than my 120qt cooler that I currently use, I may use the cooler instead and turn the livewell into storage. Hope to have some pics soon of some progress! [/QUOTE]
