To take on or not to take on?

[FishStretcher]

One thing to remember: (I was told this) If you are going to mess up your mix ratio for resin, add too much hardener. If you add too little it may never harden. If it kicks too fast with too much hardener, you waste resin, but scraping off never quite cured resin is a waste of resin, and a huge mess.

My experience with Epoxy is it should be pretty much right on. Too much hardener will do as much damage as too little. Go to the dollar store and buy a bunch of measuring cups or buy the kits with pumps.

My experience with the pumps have been hit and miss. Use a painters cup and you will be spot on every time.

I've been thinking abiout a bait tank as well the one in the floor on my 20 is inoperational. I bate them in thebfloor anyway under the leaning post I think would but too much weight to the stern and Id rather have a cooler there , so I was think of one under thebfront console seat ? Any ideas

I've been thinking about that, too. There aren't too many options. An oblong HPDE tank might fit under the console seat. US Plastics, as well as a few other online vendors, sell various tanks/containers that may work.

What about turning the anchor locker into a livewell? Have a pump supply water and an overflow/strainer keep the water level consistent - like a reef tank.

Probably make for some red nosed bait, not to mention menhaden. That much weight that far forward on such a little boat will have a huge effect also. Put a 40 or 50 lb. cement bag in the anchor locker then try two of them. You might be surprised how differently the boat responds.

I'll take your word for it.

You're right. I didn't realize the ride would be that affected. Though it'd be more like 150-200 lb. @ 8 lbs./gallon of saltwater.

My point exactly
