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.

I use the 40lb, I had a 60 at one time and it was O.K., but it was just too big for my taste. The only time I have ever notice the water weight is when water leaked into my kayaks but from other sources not the bait tanks. Usually when I'm paddling back into shore I pull the drain plug so that the water drains before landing. I also thing the weight of the water in the tank helped save me back in April when I was paddling in some very rough waters. Again, I honestly have not heard anyone complain about the extra weight.

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.
