10.5 isn't badbut are you sure that's accurate? The Hobie bait tank hold about 8 gallons (depending on how high your drain is positioned) and yours seems a lot larger, or is it the picture that makes it look larger?

Its real close on the gallons.....I used a 5 gallon bucket to fill it to the over flow....you can see the overflow is quite a was from the top and the curves reduce the size too......Ill do an exact today and know for sure.....either way if its to big all i need to buy is a smaller container all the other parts are there...... Learn by doing i guess

What type of paint did you use?

[jorluivil]

If it holds to much water just plug the drain hole and rill another one, no need to go out and buy a new cooler

I hate negativity but,I got my money that it's not gonna hold.i have same size rigged on my sea doo rxt and when I reach over to get bait,I gotta watch my balance.let alone a kayak.i recommend you go with the hobie.i was putting it off and made a few livewells and I probably drop the same amount than if would of just got the hobie well.talk to Andy and maybe you can put one on lay-away.you should do a test run first with no gear.if you are going Monday, I will try to meet Amish Ed at Dana point around 6:am.

Im flying to arkansas tomorrow so this weekend is shot but Id love to tag along on your next one if you dont mind

I think you did a beautiful job on the livewell, but I fear bennyblanco may be right. Your cg is gonna be way high if that things full, and if you fill it less then you still gotta dig around in a huge bin when you could have a nice lowpro hobie tank. Dont trash that one though, that would be a perfect livewell for a small skiff.
