Sounds like you are way ahead already. Personally, I like and use the ice chest concept. Here in the deep South we have to constantly deal with heat. A well insulated ice chest works wonders at keeping fish alive and can serve as an extra seat if needed. I cut small hole in the bottom of my larger boat (off shore). They make a small insert for the hole that when you are running it allows fresh water in and out of your live well without using energy from your batteries, etc. Ample enough for live well and bait tanks. Also, you may want to rig a little larger pump which will allow you to hose down floor while coming in. Most of these ideas are meant for large lakes or ocean going boats. Don't have any blue prints or step by step ideas. Good luck and good fishing. Uncle Tom
