Have 1997 Lund 14 ft Rebel with a livewell.
I love this boat but see many little improvements that I would make if Lund were to listen to me.....
On Lake Cumberland Kentucky, it is impossible to keep fish alive or even worth eating in any livewell during the summer months.
Most fishermen simply drop their keepers into a cooler on the floor of boat.
By adding insulation to livewells, the recirculating water would stay cooler
for long periods of time.
During extreme heat, the livewell could be used as a cooler. (not water)
This winter I plan to use an old Omaha Frozen Steak container to insulate
my Lund boat. (lid, walls, bottom livewell-adding 1 inch of foam)
Advantages:
- keep water cooler at all times
- hold ice during hot summer months
- avoid using valuable floor space in my small Lund 14 ft
Disadvantages:
- will lose valuable livewell space
- will require modification time
QUESTIONS:
1. - AM I MISSING SOMETHING WITH THIS INSULATION IDEA????
2. - Does anyone know of an insulation insert that is available for Lund livewells?
3. - How do I get Lund development to understand that future improvements can come by listening to existing Lund customers.
On two different occasions I have sent e-mails as a HAPPY CUSTOMER on two different boats to Lund. In these e-mails I made some simple suggestions for improvements......
