Glad someone finally posted on this subject. Apparently these are common problems because I too have experienced them with my xtremes' "custom" bait tank with the exception of the outlet tube angle problem. Where did you guys get the gasket for the tank? I didn't get one but I have been rolling some Ideas over in my head. One of them being to use some of that squishy rubber foam like they use for lining toolbox drawers and cutting a gasket out of that or something similar and installing a strap on each side of the tank to hold it down tight. It would make a surf launch with the tank much more sane than risking filling the hull with water due to the tank falling out if I roll it. I still like my bait tank because it saves me alot of deck space but I still have to work out these kinks. If anyone has any ingenious ideas please post them. I would be glad to hear. Just don't laugh at me because I thought this damn tank was going to be better than it is!
