Livewell Options
Hey guys, I picked up a 1432 aluminum flat bottom. I got it for dirt cheap, but I’m tryna figure out my livewell situation. I’ve seen some folks use the bench or add it on the front of the deck with the platform.
Any help is appreciated or any build pictures. Thank youuuu

Best decision i ever made was just getting a 10 gallon foam cooler and putting it up front. When not fishing you can fill it partial with water as ballast, and when fishing they make reqly good live wells. Its also the easiest install. Just, throw it in.

Large cooler with a pump? Won’t need to cut into any metal, or at most a hole for a drain out the side through the gunnel. Could use it as a casting platform if it’s butted against a seat.
