What materials would I need to add a live well to a 12' aluminum fishing boat?
Aug 28, 2007 by Wags | Posted in Fishing
I have added stupid fishing platforms on the front and back with a trolling motor on front with an outboard on back. This is not leaving me a heck of a lot of room. How big should it be to enable us to fish most bass tourneys? FYI the boat is a 12' Meyers
here's what i did on my 12ft gamefisher i took a ambience sized cooler about 2 1/2 feet long by a foot or so wide and drill a few holes on the lid so you can move a hose from a battery operate aerator but also get a few bait bubble tablets and put them in with the fish also put a few hand fulls o ice in about every hr. the way i did it due met the qualifications for my B.A.S.S. Club.
P.S. drill a few more small holes through the lid so when the aerator it going the air doesn't pop the lid off.

It sounds like you would be first off with a cooler type live well for a small boat, get one around 24 inches long and pick up an areartor that runs on batteries at walmart or a sporting goods hold for around twenty dollars and it will work you'll need a vent or a couple of holes in the top of the cooler, good chances.

Contain BassProShops or Cabelas catalog or websites. They have a system availble all ready to go. Fits right in there. Or you could convert a cooler. But by the every so often you get finished with the pump, plumbing, cooler, wiring and the like you could have bought the premade version .

i have a 14ft aluminum fishing boat what size motor can it handle?
Jun 21, 2006 by rocknrollskwurl | Posted in Boats & Boating
it is a 14 foot v-skin aluminum and has a 4.5 ft beam. what size outbourd could i put on it to possibly go tubing and such without spliting the hull or damaging my boat?
the boat is occupied and about 10 years old. only thing on it besides the registration stickers is on the back it says fishmaster. havent seen a boat like this at bass pro shops but on the enternet cant find it either
Possibly the most you can get away with at the most is a 25 horsepower engine, thats what mine is and i had the same type of boat, you should try looking up information on it just to be safe. And with a 14 ft. aluminum boat, you probably should be doing all teh sporting stuff off the back. Its mainly a fishing/transportation boat.

I finish in cal. and the housing crunch killed me. I am thinking of filling chap. 7 and all I do now is fish because i am rather tired of chasing the dollar. would my boat be socialistic alone because of the low value.
Sold my 22' sailboat to a participant for $1.00 before filing. Make sure you can trust your partner.
