Livewell
 

Hey guys I recently bought a 84 23' SF. When I bought the boat it didn't have any livewell plumbing and over the winter i would like to get something setup to use for next year.. Would you recommend using the in deck livewell or going with a 20 or 30 gal above deck up forward maybe by the leaning post or in front of the console? I was a little hesitant to setup the in deck livewell (seemed like a lot of weight esp if one or two people are at the stern)

Thanks
Paul

Live well
 

I have a complete '72 restoration. I bought a leaning post, seat and live well. It added approximately 8o lbs dry. To compensate, I moved the batteries completely forward to the forward floor compartment. Also, installed a 47 Gal Fuel cell ahead of Center Console.

Ride great, super soft landing. 60 MPH with Suzuki 250 4 stroke.

I spent ONE weekend on my hands and knees, chasing bait in a floor livewell on a 2 MAKO 21. Never again, I imediatelly starting looking for a standing well.
