mine is the recycle type, no air. Once the well is full and the fish are in how often do you need to run the pump to generate fresh water? I have kept mine on for hours and totally forgot about the battery usage. Would i be better off installing an areater or a timer to automatically recycle the water?

I have an 86, 15'4" fiber Skeeter. This particular model does not have the entire front portion of the boat decked. Just the front 2.5-3 feet or so is decked. I'm looking to deck the remaining front section for two reasons: 1) more deck area to walk around without having to step up and down from one level to the other 2) create additional storage under new deck area. I have had some good tips from some, like what type of wood to use, size, expoxing the wood, size screws, etc but wanted to know first hand from someone who has done such a project before.....any tips or tricks. One thing I'm not sure of is if i would be better off using some of the prefab storage bins and hinged covers or building my own. I want all storage areas locked as well. Any one out there with some tips? JB

Here in Central Florida it is not uncommon to come across a gator. a few months ago i had an 8 footer swim up to my bow, within 2-3 feet from boat and stop. It looked at me a bit, hissed and submerged. Just 15 minutes before that i was laying belly down on my deck, arm completely in water trying to dislodge a rattle trap. while i was doing this i told myself how much it would suck if a gator was around. I think i might buy one of those lure retrievers now. seen a few small ones (3 feet or so) at the ramp as well.
