Actually, I designed the size of the livewell to be small enough so that the door/hatch to the large fish well is still accessable(see below pic). The teak door thru the motorwell wall will still be operational too.

Very nice work!

Thanks Boo!

Tonight I completed the door to the livewell and the cutting board. Both are made of textured Starboard. The door is 3/4" and and the cutting board is 1/4". Also added a sprayer in the sink/wash down area. Completion of this project is getting closer and closer.

awsome work looks great cant wait to see it installed

Final trial, Everything fits nicely. Now just have to put a top coat of paint, screw down the cutting board, and plumb the wash down area.

All Done...ready for action!!

Finally got to try out my custom livewell/bait station today. Worked great, the expandable 2lb foam insulation around the tank keep the live bait (herring) cool and frisky. The kids loved to look at the "bait". Caught a few small striped bass, no keepers though....maybe next time.

I like it, very smart.

Ahhh, Success....especially for the kids!
