If any body has ever messed with these does the livewell come off with the cap ? looks like it has been bonded to the floor in the storage compartment area... wonderin what to do... thanks in advance Billy.

I posted the same question a few weeks ago without any responses.
Where exactly did Allison say to cut it loose at ? on the top of the gunwales or the seam under the rub rail?

thanks, Russ

they said as far as the livewell just cut it at the top as close as possible. where the cap meets the hull there are fiberglass strips that you have to cut loose on the sides and it should lift right off.

Good deal..... what kinda power are you looking to rig yers with? I have a cherry 2.0 carb 150 that needs a home soon... that may be a handful.

The lil' SST I found has a locker door missing, but other than that a a few misc drilled holes here and there,,, a real weak transom,,,no real bad cracks,,,should not be a too bad of project..

What are you going to use for your transom replacement?
