[QUOTE="kensho1976, post: 333127, member: 9948"] I'm tinkering again. I had flush mounted some coolers in the rear benches, so I picked up two cheap Tempress 1115 hatches (11x15) that fit just inside the cooler. I made a frame out of 2x2 again, and then topped it with 3/4 ply. I used stainless steel screws to keep it all together. I plan on painting it just like the front. Once I save up a little, or my wife is kind enough to buy me some for Christmas, I plan on redoing the front with the hatches after all. Has anyone had any experience with the liners for the Tempress hatches? They're $50 or so dollars each, and they say you can make bait wells out of them. I'm not looking forward to wasting $50 if there not any good for storage or bait wells though.

I couldn't throw my spoon in fast enough. The jacks were chasing after anything and everything I could put on the line. It was fun! But I'm looking to get back in the boat.
