Is a Tsunami a Seacraft model? I bought the boat as a center cosole and the title says it's a Tsunami. Very similar to the Seacrafts, but built by another company. The guy that I bought the boat from said that Tsunami and Seacraft had some kind of lawsuit going for copying hull design. Tsunami went out of business.
The buckets I pulled fom the transom are 12". I would say that the cap is about 18" wide. I think that there's room to put a livewell in there, but I'm not sure if it'd be worth it at this point. I'm about two days of sanding away from dropping it off to get painted and rigged. Post some pictures when you have a minute.

My boat is also heavy. It's got a 165 gallon tank and with the twin I/O's fully gassed - boat, motors, and trailer weighed 6800 pounds. The motors were about 2000 pounds, the trailer probably around 800 or 900 pounds. I'm guessing that with the new motor and bracket (wet) I'll weigh about 5000 pounds. Hopefully the 300 will do it. I should know by the end of the year for sure.
