    Classic XL livewell build

    This took quite some time to get the mental fortitude to want to undertake this project, but the end is approaching on this build and I am super excited to run it on the water. I just need to seal the perimeter of the custom cut/ custom fabbed splash guard, and add in my drain and pump out fittings through the transom and it's all done.

    - 16 gallon livewell by Lund
    - Leisure electronics livewell timer
    - Flow-rite recirc/ pump out combo nozzle
    - 800 gph recirculation pump
    - 9 gallon console livewell dry storage conversion

    Thank you guys! The amount of work it took for me makes it a one and done sort of project for sure. I am contemplating throwing in some cross bars into it running parallel with the divider, but that's sort of a secondary thing at this point.

    Haha. Oh well on my boat I'll do whatever it takes to improve it, or keep it looking or functioning like a champ, but as far as doing something like this for anyone else, it's pretty physically taxing so it's one of those things where I'd rather just build it one and done and never have to do it again.

    Hehehe.....that's how my project escalated....."yes!....ALL done!....well, since I've got the decks off, I might a well do/fix that".....year and half later it's all done.....well, come to think of it, is it ever "all done?" 😉

    It's never done.

    BUT, once I'm done with this project then I just need to upgrade the leaf springs, maybe the tires as well to some radials over the OE bias plys and it's all done. (For now) hahahaha! I've done quite enough and it's been pretty heavy on my wallet. Like I just did a secondary console nav alongside this project so, a lot of work, and then some.

    Thank you good sir! I very much look forward to finishing it up and having the opportunity to be able to give it a good solid water test run.
