looking for a small portable livewell

A friend of mine is looking for a small portable livewell for his center console. Something that is only 10-20 gallons and more tall than wide would be preferable. Anyone have any ideas where I can find a new or used one?

I agree with Paul. I bought a Keep Alive and modified it to pick up water from behind the transom when I'm fishing/drifting and when the boat is running or in transport the aerater is on.

They do make that size but I went with the slightly larger 30 gallon, bigger is definately better.

Look at www.livebaitlarry.com. I bought one for a colleague in the UK last year. He has installed it and likes it so far.

Thanks for the ideas and I agree bigger is better but he has space limitiations and is only going to use it to keep a dozen or so scup at a time. The 24 gallon from livebaitlarry.com might be the ticket. Let me know if someone has a used one out there they aren't using.
Sportsman, you have to get your 50 gallon out of my shed one of these days. I have 3 of them in there taking up space.
