    Live well size in gallons?

    How many gallon live well is in a XB-2003? I know it huge and bigger than a live well in about all other boats I have seen. Looking to maybe buy a bubbler and need to know the gallons so I buy the right size. Thanks.

    Live well is 35 gallons in a XB-21. Sounds about right. If you get some fish in it without the divider and no clips on the fish they are damn near impossible to catch.

    That's the way I tested it in my Sterling. Except I just kept refilling a gallon jug. What was listed as live well capacity and real word was night and day numbers. Normal fish carrying level was around 11 gallons in each well. (2 separate)

    I've been meaning to do the same just for curiosity in the Allison I just haven't taken the time to do it.

    I just filled mine up to see (xb 2003) and it was right about 17 gallons at the bottom of the overflow drain, 20 gallons put it to the top of the overflow. The nose was sitting a little high but I decided not to level it as that’s how she sits in the water anyway.
