1985 250CCP livewell location

[NavyCWO]

Hello All,

been busy doing Navy stuff, getting ready to roll to shore duty here in 2 weeks for my last tour. The CCP is about 85% complete!!! but I am still working it.. The new question, I had the transom enclosed and I had NO live well installed. I want to put a portable in, 25-30 gal that I can remove when not needed. The problem, with the enclosing of the transom, adding a heavy ass stainless marine bracket, going from T140's to T200's I have increased the weight in the stern quite a bit.  With the 30 gal, that's an additional 200+ more pounds. I do have the monster coffin box up forward and I may have to add a little more weight in the front. Can I get some suggestions as to where I can put this live well without drilling and cutting holes everywhere? Thanks in advance for the feedback!!!!

You can counteract the weight of the bait well by adding a 20 gal freshwater shower under the deck between the front coffin and the rear fuel coffin. You will have to remove the center console. It would fall right underneath the console front seat.

Thanks for the reply, unfortunately, I don't have that type set up, I don't have a seat on the front of my console. all I have is that 150+ pound coffin box on the bow.. still trying to figure it out.... thanks for the input
