Ive been stuck in holding pattern.  Financials, work, loss of motivation, etc...also cant decide on the direction of how I want to set it up inder the deck.  Part of me wants to do away with the windows, another part wants to keep them.  I think I want to build a big fish box up front, but figuring out the drainage has me kinda stumped.  Do I go with a macerator? Anyway, sorry for no updates, but nothing to update lately.

Don’t lose your motivation and just go for it!

Me personally I would get rid of the windows and add your fish box idea. What are your concerns about drainage?

Thanks!
Having everything drain into the bilge, especially bloody fish water, seems like trouble.  I imagine that the flatback hull will need a lot of water to fill up before it trips a bilge switch. Thats why I am thinking a fisj box that doesnt drain into the bildge but drains into a macerator pumping it overboard

Tampa Bay Mike, do you have any hatches drain into bilge?

If the fish box is raised you could have it come out of the side toward the front of the boat.

Another solution is to run the drain hose out of the back of the transom below the waterline. Since it’s so far forward you shouldn’t have any issues with water back filling. That’s how one of my livewells is on my ranger and it works great as a fish box.

I see planning as the most important step to the end goal. I am finding I personally am kinda stuck in planning stage myself (however no time at the moment to get outside and work at it).

I personally like fish box drain out the transom (my 81’ is setup this way) so you can either drain while out fishing or also while cleaning up the boat without the risk of staining the hullsides years down the road. The original design (at least how my 70’ is set up) was to run the drain through the hullside.
