[QUOTE="BossHogg, post: 117772, member: 2361"] Well, first I wanted to remove it, then I decided to keep it, then I decided to remove it... [img]https://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q122/csours/Jon%20Boat%20Conversion/P1040454.jpg[/img] Reasoning: I just don't think that thing was big enough to use as a livewell, and I never use minnows, shiners, chubs, etc.. I had decided to just cut out the baitwell and get a cooler that would fit down in the same spot and leave the bench, but there was nothing 70qt or higher that had dimensions that would allow me to put it in the same spot. This way I can get whatever cooler I want, convert it to a livewell, design framing and deck layout around that, then reinforce the lateral hull support by rivetting some 1.5"sq tube (which is supposed to be in on Tues! =D) to the remaining flange.
