So I want to add a live bait tank to my Cobra Marauder, any advice? I've heard a few negatives about the ones where your intake and outflow hang off the side of the kayak because of drag. I also know that I'd like to have it be big enough to hold a significant amount of bait (5 gallon bucket size). Other than that, I don't have much to go on. I know I'll have to do some rigging of a battery, etc. but want to keep this as simple and labor free as possible. Is there anywhere I can buy a ready to go system and have it installed? How much more expensive is this than making it myself? Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks.

They make a couple different types but the can custom build one according to what you want. I built one similar to their ultimate bait tank. They also have all the parts at their store.

Do they have an actual store location or are they just online? I can't seem to find a location and I want to talk to someone. I also am one that likes to see things physically before buying.

Didn't realize OEX and kayakfishingsupplies.com were one and the same. Now I know. Thanks guys for the responses. I'll head down to OEX and hopefully see all you guys on the water soon, finally with a live bait tank!

Check out the "Share your innovations" sticky. I use scupper in and outflows for my bait tank, and the Hobie tanks do the same. You can see both types and modifications in that thread.
