What was the first year of the MA??

Thanks Tarpun!! I was wondering about that. I've seen those on a lot of hulls.

Are those bait wells part of the hull or are they ad on's? Here in the Keys alot of skiffs added the baitwells because of the natural flow of water(No pumps,holes in the bottom and sides of the well). I had them on the Fibercraft I redid a few years ago.They work great for crabs and shrimp but they can only hold a few fin fish at a time.

The Fiber-Man that did work on mine. Said He added a Lot of those B Boxes as it was a Help to the local Fishermen of S. Florida- Kinda a Fad.(His shop is actually 1/8 mile from the old Potter shop & He specialized in SC's).They helped with skinny water lift & added the extra length. cheaper than a "bracket". It was tough on a MA to reach them ,specially OffShore in a chop!Theire on a lot of older boats down there,getting scarce now.

Yeah, kind of figured they were added on and I can see how it might be a bit of a strecth reaching for bait.
