After looking at ideas for the last year I finally picked up a great way to improve the splash well from Rick, (416rigby) and make it in to a fish and bait box. I never liked the stern open like it was as I've had water follow me in with a following sea. Not a lot but enough that I didn't like it.

Well problem solved. Made of aluminum and painted to match the boat. I had a boat builder out of Medford Oregon custom build the box for me. Drains in the bottom of both boxes the hose off to the outside of the boat. NO CLEANUP :D I can still tilt both motors full tilt without hitting the box. Here is a picture of the final product. I will upload a few more to my album.

Thanks Rick for the great idea. :lol:

That is a great looking box you have there. Its well thought out and looks very useful. Was it powder coated? Have you thought about adding insulation?
 
Wow, nice! Do you think your fabricator might be interested in making more? If so, perhaps you could share the name of the business/person. That looks sweet! (Suddenly I want one :D)
 
Fish-rite In Medford Oregon built the box for me. They do quality work. I had them build a couple boats for me over the years.

I use the fish side to bleed the fish and than use a fish bag to hold them.

Dude! That's freakin' sweet! If the guy saved the plans I bet he will sell quite a few of them. Very well thought out design. What did it end up costing ya?

For the record, I based my design on several others I saw...the real credit goes to this great community of sharing ideas.

Bravo

That's for sure Rick. We are all lucky to have such a great community to draw from.

The boxes are top quality but very expensive. $800.00 out the door. :smilep
