Boat Builder Central

That’s a gag grouper, very tasty. We were prospecting/pre-fishing for a benefit trip I’m part of next weekend for pediatric cancer research. (I know where I’m not fishing next weekend) My daughter is a hospital admin and she raised a substantial amount of money for the cause. This was a requirement ...

Why?

No, just not in the same compartment with a fuel tank.
Keep in mind this guy has never built a boat of any kind.

Game on, ‘tis the season.

Great looking work Rick!

It might still be available. If Bill doesn’t reply in 24 hours or so, hit me up with a personal message. I have his phone number.

Fuzz doesn’t need ice, took awhile for me to grasp the concept. I buy at least 200lbs every time I go out. And that is for a 8 hour trip.

In my opinion, Dan’s boat is way too small for a livewell big enough to keep 100 eating size fish alive for 5 days. The trick is to not open the fish box cooler more than necessary. Small fish tunnel in the main lid could be the ticket.

Curious, how do we do a “heat calc” on a homemade cooler? One thing I’m certain of, “The Beast” is going to be way better than a Yeti of which I own several of. The aforementioned beast is going on a Gag/Snapper trip next month, will post pics.

You need “The Beast” or a slightly smaller version.
