That's no Bueno! You should make it as flush to the inside of the tank as you can.

I usually put about 4 to 5 holes depending on the rod holder location. Some want the 6 rod holder setup and some want the 3. So it all depends on where the Rod holders go, but there is plenty of drainage and I've never had a tank over flow on me doing it this way.

Glad he liked it. We'll have to hook up on the water sometime.

Is the omega tank a 40lb Vittel or a 60lb vittel? I currently have the 15lb like your smaller one and I was doing the math. The 15 lb is about 51 lbs with water in it. The 40 lb is about 119lbs with water in it. The 60lb is about 136lbs with water in it. How much of a difference would one notice with adding that weight to the yak? Just wondering if you would notice that weight. I'll probably still build one out of a 40lb vittel.

I Never thought about the weight. Mine is a L 12"x W 12"x H 9.75"=1404 cubic inches 1404 cubic inches / 231=6.08gal 6.08gal x 8.5Lbs =51.68lbs
231 is inches to gallons 8.5lbs is average weight of salt water. |

If you run a drain tube put some small chicken wire over so that it doesn't get stuffed with small bait

Good advice, I only install drain tubes when someone requests them. I prefer not to have drain tubes because line can catch on them.

When I had this style tank, I put one of those thin folding cutting board inside to cover the bolt heads. This would also round out the corners so none of the fish would get trapped in the corners. Cheap and easy fix.
