Just a warning as this is a very common occurrence with folks looking to build the tank (and coming in for the parts)- If you were to build that same tank using the same parts it will cost you significantly more than purchasing- especially since the unit sells for only 175.00 in the OEX store.

I would imagine the most expensive thing in this setup is the battery/power - everything else is basically stuff I already have in my garage. |

Ive made on of these for around $90. basic model. If you want the rod holders and etc.. it might cost more. The thing is you can customize yours and make it the way you want. Of course it may cost more, but it's customized to your fishing. good luck

I like to use small ice chest cooler, they have nice already made lids, they're insulated and with parts and all under $100 bucks. Made rod holders out of pvc, watertight box from Walmart for battery, fittings from big box store, battery from amazon...however the OEX one looks fancier than mine...but someone once told me that fancy doesn't catch fish(; and I like to build stuff, I feel less human buying something I can make but I'm just stubborn and cheap like that!!!

How much is your time and effort worth? How experienced are you with DIY? How many trips/mistakes are you willing to make?
Of the many threads I've read here, I have noticed that most of the guys who do build themselves have prior experience in building accessories for their Kayaks or other projects. I thought about building a bait tank a couple years ago when the Costco out here first carried the "Vittles Vaults" for $20. I started to think, I'm not too confident/talented with such endeavors and how many of the Vaults I might go through because I made a too large/many holes (etc.) how many trips I was willing to make to Home Depot for forgotten or wrong sized parts and then online purchases for items not carried by HD (like timer/on/off switch, bilge pump etc.). After buying/outfitting my '12 Outback from OEX SSB (ANDY ) and reading/seeing some of the customizing the guys down at OEX Mission Bay (Props to CJ and Jeff) have done for their customers I wouldn't hesitate to recommend just buying from them since you're in that area (or online). PLUS if you read some repair threads done buy OEX they stand behind their work. I've read threads where customers have gone back with some issues with wiring, connectors switches etc. and have repairs done, no muss no fuss and little (maybe just charge for parts) to no charge, depending on the age of the item or install. My opinion may be a little biased but I doubt anyone here would disagree with my assessment of these Stores and there dedication to customer satisfaction! I wanted to be the first to buy the new'15 Outback, but now I'm patiently waiting on HOBIE to make a new bucket for their rectangular hatch option for the '15 Outback as my fly cases won't fit in the tackle management slots and while waiting I'm searching the $ stores for a plastic storage box that might fit the depth of the new Outback, BUT I WILL be purchasing from OEX SSB as soon as they/I find a solution.

I was going to make my own, thinking I would save money. After doing the math, figuring I would waste some money buying the wrong parts or goofing it up somehow, I just bought it already built. Best way to go in my book.
On occasion, I have seen one for sale on Craigslist. May be worth checking now and then. |
