CUSTOMIZING LIVEWELLS FOR MORE LIVE BAIT | EP 9 

You’ve been a huge inspiration to myself and my kids. They used to roll their eyes during our hunt for bait. Your channel has changed the game, and I now hear “what would Captain Mike do?” every morning as THEY practice cast netting! Thanks brother. (21.59 us gal)

Been to that shop... Shane is an awesome guy! Without a doubt you went with the right ppl to build your boat. Been subscribed to you way before your boat build and now I can’t wait for each new video!

I love how you’re sharing your boat builder with everyone. Good call with the color. I work at SeaVee Boats and all shades of gray are really popular right now. Perhaps once this whole pandemic crisis is over you can stop by for a factory tour. I think you would really be impressed by SeaVee’s way of building a three part boat. That Live Bait hoodie is so fresh, I’ll trade you SeaVee shirt for one of your hoodies. Keep those videos coming.

i would say that is attention to detail ..going over the non skid with a fine tooth comb.. this is the second time i am watching this series ... very enjoyable .. you have a nice boat mike

Thank you Captain Mike for another great video !! Can’t wait to see the finished product !!

Definitely worth the upgrade and extra $$ to get approximately 21.5 extra gallons. Watching your build unfold inspired me to get some custom upgrades to my boat. Unfortunately, one of my upgrades (going all digital touchscreen gauges and getting rid of the old school gauges) cannot be done. I have a 2009 Honda Outboard and my motor missed the cutoff by approximately 6-8 months for being NMEA compatible 🤦‍♂️. But that's ok, getting other cool upgrades to make the safer and more user friendly when we go offshore! Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences with us. Tight lines Capt Mike!

21.59415584 gallon difference. Can't wait to see that 62 gallon well, full of some beautiful lovely baits! Tight lines, Capt!

Dude, long time saltwater fisherman here, love the channel! Absolutely binge-ing your content. Great looking boats these guys build, Shane is awesome and I have so much respect for a master of the trade like him. Im gonna get back to watching but just wanted to tell you how great this is....its like house hunters for fisherman hahahaha. KEEP THEM LINES TIGHT BROTHA!

Shane seems an artist & craftsman

Answer, ALOT! 21.6 gallons more with your custom livewell. Love the whole build series!! Love your channel Capt. Mike!!

21.6 gallons. Love your videos man keep up the great work! Can’t wait to see the finished product!

damn the first live bait is enough for me :D HUGE

21.594 gallon difference. Love the vids, can’t wait to see this beauty come together!

21.6 gallon difference.... holy cow thats almost the size of my baitwell!

Sooo jealous of your new boat! Can’t wait to see the finished boat! I come up with 19.7 gallons.

Love the edits Mike. Keep it up. Channel is gonna blow up!

Great video captain Mike. The difference in gallons of your custom bait well and the stock bait well is 21.6 gallons of water. You will fit approx 21-22 extra baits based on your theory of 1 bait per gallon of water. Tight lines stay safe, still working on my project in Key Largo see you soon.

22 gallon difference.great boat build series..its all about the live bait bro!!tight lines

Cool video Captain ! The difference between the custom bait well and the standard is - 21.594 wow great use of space. Nice job guys!

There is a difference of 21.5941558442 gallons between them. DUDE! I love that boat your building, can't wait for the finished product, and hopefully fish in it one day...

17 gallon difference....great series!!!!

Actually comes to 21.59 gallons difference. Nice work. Loving this series

Nice build, you are going to have a great fishing platform. difference between the standard tank and the custom 19.22 gal. 62 gallons in the custom tank / 42.78 gallons in the custom tank. Keep up the build videos!

Love the quality of the build!

Nice to know that the guy working on your boat is a perfectionist.

21.6 of it were perfect rectangle, but since the corners were rounded with glass I would say it’s closer to 21 gal difference

21.594 gallon difference. Awesome series man. love it

It is 21.6 gallons. Great videos. Keep them coming.

Great video Cpt. Mike, as long as we are all guessing the difference is 22.40 gallons. Can't wait to see the final product.

Your channel is awesome. Love your expertise.

After a few beers and a lot of looking at it I’m thinking about 25 gallons. Keep up the great content.

Thank you for taking the time to give us another informative and inspiring video! I calculated a difference of 22.2 gallons. Be easy.

21.56. That’s a huge difference!! Definitely worth the little extra money.

Approximately 21.59 gallons difference given the dimensions you provided. Probably less since one is rectangle and one is oval. But close enough! Can’t wait to see it all finished!

22 gallon difference capt mike ! Tight lines!!

love the upgrade and id say it is a great move! im looking at 20.8 gallons. thats an eyeball guess but either way 20 more baits off shore can be a game changer. stay awesome Capt Mike! Tight lines

awesome compilation brother!

Fantastic boat build, 21.59 extra gallons, Wow

J Nice job 👍🏾

21.5942 gallons is the difference. Great step by step series on how your boat is built. Looks awesome!!! 👍

21,6 gallons. Volume of live-well, it’s like a money, can’t be too much. Every spare gallon worth it. Thnx for series!

21.594153247 gallon difference in capacity. That is substantial and probably definitely worth the modification. That will give you 21.594153247 more baits per your rule. Fish on man, love your channel. Man I got to get caught up on some farm work so I can get fishing. That shirt would sure help protect my farmers tan.

21.6 differance love seeing your boat as its being made wow thats a huge baitwell

Here’s my take. Given the measurements you gave 21.6 gallons difference but I suspect that it would lose quite a bit in the corners because of the radius. with a 3in radius you would lose a bit of water so I would guess the difference between the wells is 19.5 gal. Going to be a nice boat

Excelente información Capi Mike . Reel reports es muy informativo, buen canal. Yo diría que la diferencia son 20 Galones por los detalles de las esquinas más la capa de yelco, seguro 20 Galones!

APPROX 21.6 gallons! DANG that's impressive

Great info!! Things to think about.

I never would have heard about this boat. I love the build quality. Super impressive.

Dear capt Mike, This is Casper from thé Netherlands and u say the right result is .. 21,594. Greetings

21.59415584 gal difference assuming the edges are the same. LOVE the boat and the series btw!!

20.86 Gallons. Nice build, and videos. Keep up the great work. Up here in NJ thats extra storage for a few more cement shoes.

Been enjoying this series. Looking forward to the final product! I would say the difference between the 2 is 21.6 US gallons. Fingers crossed. haha

21.6 gallons bigger. 20 more baits. 20 more bites.20 more fish. Got get em Capt.

Mike - Build is looking good. Gallon difference is 21.59. Tight lines.

Mike great video make sure you check the angle on the top of a live on you may need a run that drain out of the front face upon the running angle boat also for the level pumps if you can Spring for it I highly recommend the Hooker electrics I love on my boat and you'll have plenty of flow. I'm running a 160 gallons of live Wells on my bow from one of their pumps

Great work brother Cant wait to see this boat Completed ! GALLONS DIFFRENCE 34 GALLON REGULAR 58 NEW TANK

All about the bait!

21.6 gallon is the difference. Can’t Waite to see it finish .

You can add 21.59 extra bait to your tank! Really enjoying your build. Thank you for sharing your dream with us. Tight Lines

Mike I hear you're interested in Whaler? I have a 16' 1970 project boat on a working trailer. It's in a garage in Naples you could check it out on one of your trips to LTB.

21.5942 gallon difference. Love the series!

Keep on fishin brother Mike! Even to us 6 packers you're the best out there amigo!! 21.594 gallons

Captain Mike, you added 21.6 extra gallons of live well capacity. Or, 21~22 extra baits when you use the 1 gallon per bait method, and one day, when we go fishing together, that's 21~22 more fish we will catch!

Pretty big difference in size man, comes up to a little over 21 and a half gallons at 21.6. The extra volume should help keep bait longer before having to change water to reduce ammonia levels.

The difference is 21.6 gals...I really like this series you're doing,,, it's pretty cool. Tight lines 😎

Hey I’m kind of curious to see if you know if the standard Livewell option drains out the bottom of the well, through the stringer’s and out of the hull side or do the drain from the side of the wells. 18:19 The reason I’m asking this is because I’m rebuilding a 81 Rampone 25 “SeaVee/WhiteWater 25” and I really liked my forward Livewell setup but I’m looking to simplify it. So that I don’t have to run tubing under my tank all the way to the transom. Thank you

Enjoy seeing the build what kind of electronics are you thinking ?

The difference is...... MORE.! Haa. Dig the build.... Glad i found it....

21.594 glorious gallons difference and 21 more threadfin hearing!! Sounds pretty sweet to me.

The difference is 31.59 gallons. By the way its a great build you are making. Keep the updates coming giving me some great ideas on my dream build

21.598. Geeze mine is only 20 gallons. That’s a lot of baits in your customized well. Cannot wait to see this thing done

21.6 more gals than the standard. Great series!

21.594 Gal. I like the new Sea Pro boat livewells, the bay boats come with 2 pressurized livewells. Has to be a world of difference for healthy bait

31.594 gl with 21 more baits. Nice video

7:03 that's what we call "detailed work" 👍

21.6 gallons difference can’t wait to see that boat on the water

Greetings from western Australia. Mate I'd say your live well is close enough to 5 gallons biger 👍

I would say 21.5 from your numbers. Given the rounded corners not knowing the exact numbers on the corners you will probably gain about 20 gallons. That's before the bait. You will also loose some for displacement. Great build I love it!

I am guessing 22.3 gallons larger. Good job👍

21.657 gallons - Nice boat built

~21 more baits or 21.5943 gallons; boat looks sweet man - hope to get out on a charter one day

21.6 US gal bigger tank - well done, and definitely worth it

Good video buddy thanks 🙏....

Looking forward to seeing this boat on the water full of bait. Custom live well will hold 21.594153247 gallons more.

What is the foam core material which was used to build the stringers on t your new boat. What is it called and where can someone find it?. Thank You!

It’s 21.59415584 gallons larger. Massive live well! Tight Lines!

I know you did its the same process but can you record a video of the deck cap/liner being made. Please! Pretty please!

21.5926562 gallons if you are looking for an exact number. Wow, I never would have guessed that...had I shot from the hip I would have thought 10 gallons at the most!!! Captain Mike, Id like to have you help me spec my new boat!!!!

Nice video. I calculate a 21.59 gal. difference.

I get (approximately) 21.6 gallons. I say approximately because of rounded corners, etc.

21 1/2 gallons... very interested in how the pluming is made to pressurize them.

21.6 gallons bigger on your custom livewell. Big enough to jump in and cool off!! Nice...

Nice vid, Mike! When does livebait.com go...live? I'd like to get one of your nets. Cuda

21.59415584 gallon difference! Heard it here from the engineering major😂, sick boat can't wait to see the finished product!

Difference in US gallons between the two is 21.6 gallons

In the minute 4:45 bait name or fish ID? Please!

The difference is 21.594 gallons from the custom to original tank. Your custom tank will hold 61.996 gallons and the original will hold 40.402 gallons.

Your custom live well is 21.6 gallons bigger, better for those big mullet for HUGE Tarpon!

21.594gallon difference. Tight lines!!
