For the time being it will just be filled with a bucket and emptied with the pipe out the back. Next season it will be fitted with a pump arrangement to circulate the water around when funds allow. It has been built on a very tight budget, and it has been very difficult to get a spec which is good but also cheap!
There is a bolt pattern in each corner of the livewell meaning a bench seat can be fitted over the top at a later date, likewise a storage box may be added up front

If it's cheap enough, it's good enough.

Unfortunately yes..
But 3.2hours, and 4 seasons of warranty means it was too good to miss

Yup it is. Having the shorter transom for an L shaft just results in more water coming over

I think you may find that transom is for a long shaft engine, not an extra long shaft engine, I looked into that size of Vipermax when
I was down picking my rib up from Mike Whitham and asked all about the 6.2m and a 6.5m Vipermax.
