I did see the tank that malibu makes for the extreme and just wondered why they wouldn't market one for the pro explorer. The square hatches appear to be of the same size... And I was curious to see if they made one.... I've been saving my cash because originally I had decided on getting the ultimate bait tank that you guys build at OEX... I might have to stick with the original plan... Thanks for the input.

Imagine paddling with a 5 gallon bucket in your lap. the height of the tank would interfere with your stroke, (shut it...) if you had a flush mounted tank like a "kaya tank" that would be a different story.
