I created about 5 lbs of fiberglass dust today. I chopped the back seat and the ice box that didn't hold ice off of the back of the rocket launcher today. After fitting the livewell to place, I spent a few hours grinding back for new fiberglass to tie this thing back together inside and out.

I have a few odds and ends to take care of before I am ready to glass her back together. Mainly I have to make a lid that I'll fiberglass to the top of the livewell tank. That will allow for the water in the tank not to slosh out into the leaning post. It will also be a gap filler of sorts for the opening to get to the bait.

I am considering making a top section for it with a smaller opening. The one I cut off also is a little wide by about 1/4" due to the taper of the leaning post and moving it upwards about 7 inches, and the opening is huge. I can make a mold pretty quick out of MDF and make the lay-up pretty rapidly. That way I can close in the top of the livewell alot easier.
