For the stern, I added a bulkhead in front of the transom and built another fishbox with gullwing style doors (I mostly freedive spearfish, so this makes it easy to swim up on the bracket and throw the fish in the box without getting in the boat. The fish box is 4' long and about 120 quart. It's deeper at the transom and shallower at the bulkhead to allow access to the bilge area through the bulkhead. On one side of the fishbox is storage with a shelf halfway down, so there's a storage accessible from the top and one from the side. The other side doesn't have a shelf, but I still added top and side access.
The original livewell location, I changed to storage. I put a floor on it to keep it above the bilge.
