[QUOTE="MRichardson, post: 246001, member: 6763"] 1 gallon of steelflex should cover 80-100 square feet, depending on how thick you apply it (according to Jerry at Fasco).. I figure a 14' boat that's 5' wide as 80-90 square feet of exterior hull, so you should be fine. It's easier to put a rivet through a flat piece, I think that's why many like the angle for supports (easy to put up against an interior rib and rivet in place. A square tube should be twice as strong though, as it's basically two pieces of angle, no? The cooler idea is great, especially if you use it mainly for bait. I don't tournament fish, so if I keep a fish, it's going on ice. I don't usually fish with live bait, either, but when I do a cooler livewell is the route I'm going. Also, it gives you plenty of time to try out and evaluate your initial layout before you start cutting away at it again for a permanent livewell. [/QUOTE]
