Reelescape - again - NICE! A few questions:

The starboard top - the reason I never thought to use this is I didn't think that you could use a sealant / adhesive that would stick enough to starboard to make a watertight seal - what did you use to seal it and does it leak ?

Elaborate on this point ----> " The 1/2" Starboard drain plates are spaced away inside to allow drainage when a fish lays sideways against it ".

I'd rather have a set-up that is built-in, but I can't think of one that would work for me. My toughest obstacles are having to deal w/ the i/o box and having to use a barrel tall enough to vent over the transom ! The added weight is a b*tch too - but nothing is better bait than happy, fresh bunker or shad !

Thx for the great design !

3M 5200 seals well enough. It doesn't have to be 100% although it leaks very little from those areas but the lid could use a gasket. The drains are 1 1/2" through hull drains, the plate with holes pictured is mounted with 3 screws but with 3/8' or 1/2" spacers to allow water to escape if (when) a fish lays sideways on it.....it's draining so the flow sometimes catches a weak one. My only complaint is the poop ends up in the center bottom with no where to go. Sometimes I'll "flush" it. I have a drum if your near Chas.
