Livewell options on a 20 footer

[2182]

i use a similar setup as madangler, but my livewell is in the bow, right in front of the console. its a big livewell(45 gal) so it wouldnt fit under the leanpost even if i wanted it too. i use the washdown intake and have 12 feet of hose pumped by a rule 750 (i think); i was worried it would not be enough water flow but nothing has died yet. we use my boat as a bait boat a lot to prep for tournaments(lots of big baits) and ive got no complaints about the setup thus far. my favorite part of this setup is that it is fully removable; when not in use, hoses get coiled up and stowed, baitwell goes to workshop and is replaced by cooler. when i first got the boat i built a "custom" livewell out of glassed marine plywood and bendable luan and mounted it under the leanpost. not the brightest idea id ever had. boat ran like garbage and was 80+ lbs dry...
