[QUOTE="richg99, post: 417852, member: 4376"] Hmmm I have no idea why it was built that way, and never saw that brand of boat. If I were stuck with the same setup, though, I'd use the extra depth as an advantage. I'd build the deck hatch by using a piece of plywood that fits the outside edge of the livewell. I'd add 1x2x 3/4 inch ( or whatever size stock was needed ) to the bottom edges of the new hatch plywood to have it finish out at the same height as the rest of the decking. Then, I'd fill the cavity (on the bottom side of the hatch cover) with foam. The foam would help keep the livewell cooler and keep the bait/fish alive longer. Just making lemonade out of lemons! Hope my crazy idea helps. richg99 [/QUOTE]
