Default Live well

I had a Rambo and it had an in deck live well, it did well on the move or when the boat was in pitch and roll. In fact I'll see if I have any pics.

Recommend to be able to add a stand pipe drain and pump for fragile bait or calm @ dock times. Also a way to plug all intake holes. Don't know why but can't up load the pic.

Exactly what i was going for! Do you have any more pics??

Was thinking 6 standard 1" holes. Trying to avoid pumps but there is a pad in there to mount one if need be...

These vents serve double duty as drains for the rod holders (they get a stainless grill later)

I seriously don't understand how you get everything so smooth.
What do you use as your "general purpose" cloth?
And squeegee or roller?
Or maybe squeegee AND roller?
I always end up with so many FRP stalactites waiting to bleed me to death...

Assuming youre meaning the inside of the console? Majority of that is a 1400 biax with 1208 tabs. I guess general purpose is whatever ive got on hand thats suitable haha. Its all strategic as far as what i use where.

Ill rarely use a squeegee unless its a big flat surface with some light glass. Usually its foam rollers, they dont leave hair balls all over. If i can wet it out on a table then put into place i will, then hardroll it out.

Then a good sanding obviously

foam rollers...
Haven't tried that. Do you mean the hot dog type foam rollers, or the-foam-on-a-standard-size-cardboard tube roller?
In addition to, or instead of a laminating roller?

Thanks for indulging my annoying questions!

No worries ask away! Hot dogs for small stuff, full sizers for big stuff. Paint brushes for really small stuff. Sometimes ill use em all at once if ive got large pieces of glass that end up in tight spots.

The foam doesnt "aerate" the resin as much during application like a traditional fuzzy one, which lets it penetrate quicker and easier and it doesnt leave that milky appearance. It hardrolls easier too when its nice n clear.

Cant skip the laminating roller. Ive got different diameters/lengths of those too. I try to match the radius im glassing in to the diameter of the roller so youre not pushing all your fillet material out just as an example.

Then theres different siZe fillet tools, that end up matching sanding tools... i can go on forever haha.

Sorry, have not checked your thread in a while. Yes the holes were about 1" and I lost a ton of pic's so no more pics. The 1" holes can be a problem for shrimp and small white bait=gone.

Also the Rambo builder, I think is located in Georgia and still in business as far as I know. Why not call him about the LW hole set up.
