I noticed that you have holes for the overflow. Does the water spill out the side and travel out through the scuppers?

Yup. You gotta keep bringing fresh water in to keep the bait alive.

Looks great!
Is using OxyClean on your bait tank one of the over 101 uses on the box?

So what was your total cost?

I got my container for half off so here it goes:
13$ tank
5$ screw
3$ hose
25$ pelican box
2$ clamp
8$ 90 degree elbow
2$ for 50ft of cord
25$ pump
7$ goop
4$ switch
10$ wire seal
16$ for the battery
And 8$ i think fo the straps
So total is 128$ but Andy at oex uses a better battery and switch then i did and adds a rod holder in the back. If i were to do build it the same way he did i would probably save 30$. I would just go buy one from him. Less time waiting an no risk of breaking anything like i almot did.
