Since I see a fish cleaning station, How about a live bait well. Here is one we did Sunday in about 6 hours. That included going to The big Orange one to get tyraps, hinge and rope.

We made this live well out of PVC or Triton Duraboard peg board.
It is sold at Northern Tools. It took four sheets. We had to order them into the store. They wanted 25 dollars for shipping if we wanted it soon. We told them we could wait. It took 4 days to get them. We ordered on Saturday and got the four sheets on Wednesday. You have to order the ones we have to get the 2 x 4 sheets. They are thicker than the ones in the store.
It is polypropelene. Probably spelled it wrong.

Hmm two windows open and posted it twice. I cannot delete this one. Anyway it is a fishing project for keep live bait. I have a friend who has one and has used it for several years. We decided to make our own.

Here's the livewell setup on my 10 meter.

It attaches to the deck with stainless fasteners generally used to secure a cooleer to the deck.

The pump is plumbed into the raw water washdown thru hull in the lazarette.

We've been running this arrangement for several years. This year we upgraded the size of the pump and the size of the hose for more flow. We also added fittings so we can use a spray hose for raw water washdown as well.

Here's a video. You'll have to click on it to start it.

We have a livewell on the boat too. This livewell is for keeping the bait alive behind the boat when we are not fishing. That way when I fish for bait fish during the week I can keep them alive for a time when we do go fishing on the big boat.
