Look's great. Personally I would have put it against the transom so you aren't tripping over the hoses. It is a plus when you can drain the overflow out the back. It is always easy to get the water in but if you have a high transom getting the water out can require some thinking. I basically use a similar set up but all homemade, 30 gallon drum. Good job. P.

Looks nice Bill - only thing I (highly) recommend is that you double hose clamp all of your hoses instead of using just one - especially belowdecks

Ya John,good idea, thats quick enough to do, I will just add another one down there on those fittings, looks like its gonna be the perfect weekend for that task!

The reason is I dont want it against the transom is the weight...

Legit reason for sure. I have a 25 gallon in my tin boat, when herring were a legal, and I had to stick it up front for the same reason.
