Here's the pics I promised. Looks like Don has removed them from the gallery on his web site.

I kept the live well under port seat - it works ok for the limited live bait fishing I do, plus it's a great to store dive gear! Plumbing is based on original Moesly setup which circulates water while underway - no pump required! The center seat/hatch provides great access to bilge pump, tank hoses, fuel filter, wiring, etc. Used some 1/2" starboard I had lying around for that hatch. It's a little flimsy for standing on and doesn't match height of the seat hatches, so I may redo it with some 3/4" Azek board left over from galley seat project.




The clean swim platform is also great for fighting a fish - if you need to keep it away from prop, just step over transom on to platform, and put rod out over/behind motor.

Water pickup is a 3/8" PVC tube with 45 deg slice at bottom. Just push tube down about an inch to turn on the water. Can also slide a longer hose over pickup and use for deck washdown @ 30 mph!

Inside of baitwell, water inlet is at upper left.
