Whaler low pro 19 baitwell

It seems to be about a 20 -25 gallon well, has anyone ever used this for a Baitwell. How would one plumb this to use a Baitwell. Like to fill it. Curious how the weight would affect the back of the boat. Anyone ever use this well for it intended purpose? Thanks Archie

The classic Outrage 19 is not know for being sensitive to stern weight, I would posit that adding 165 lbs (20 gal * 8.35lb/gal) to the stern with a high horsepower 4 stroke or DFI on the transom of a will lead to a significant decrease in buoyancy. Most of what I have read is members filling them with foam. You can test it by adding standing in the well at the dock and observing. Then again, I am a Downeast guy used to open ocean where gunnel height is requisite.

Sure, you can do it, but the boat will not handle as well, and start to look like it's ready to take off. The upper drains will also take on water.

So with that being said if your boat doesn't sit to low now I wouldn't worry with the added weight. C. (Please follow guideline #1 at the top of this page) Edited by Joe Kriz on 01/06/16 - 1:20 PM
