Greetings,
This is my first post, and hope I’m “doing it right”. My apologizes if not, or if anything is unclear.
I’ve completely refurbished and customized a 1986 Lund Pro Angler into my dream walleye/muskie machine. If I won a billion dollars, I’d still prefer my boat over any available on the market. But, I’m also chipping away with additional modification. Against that backdrop, I’ve decided to take out the very large livewell, and install a smaller one centered about where the larger one was located, and add small dry storage compartments on each side of the smaller livewell (please see "current" and "future" figures)
And, I’d like to have carpeted hatch lids that are flush with the rest of the non-hatch surfaces.
Three questions:
1. Does anyone know of a good book/link/resource providing advice these sorts of projects?
2. Has anyone done something similar, such that I can learn from your experience?
3. More specifically, have advice on how to ensure there is no leakage from the (presumably wooden) hatch top?
I’m thinking I’ll this livewell: https://tinyurl.com/zvqvkaf (as pictured in the “Future” figure)
Thanks ahead of time for any and all advice!
Best regards,
Brian
