Dan, sick bait tank....my first was a Tidy Cat yellow special

It fit perfectly into my Drifter as well.

Also, I think you need a bigger net

Was going to say if you want to paint that tank to you can. Pep-boys sells plasty coat which is spray paint made for painting plastic. If it matched your yak that would be sick looking. Great job by the way on the work it came out awesome.

Dan, LMAO i had a smaller net but it was not legal it was 16 x 16 2 inches too short (story of my life lol) good thing about this net is its a promar trophy series its collapsible. the handle also extends another 15 or so inches

Drew thanks for the tip i'll buy a can and paint my tank to match the yak!

Nice tank! I've built several now. Couple pointers...trim the outlet tube down so that it doesnt drag in the water. What I've found is that the right angle against the side of the yak lets it trickle out quietly without creating drag. Same goes for the intake...just enough to keep it submerged...but not act as a rudder so that you're drifting to one side. Also could use some extra holes drilled around the perimeter just above your drain/waterline to serve as overflow protection. This will help in case a few baits get sucked up against the drain screen. You'll know you're plugged up once you hear the water coming from the overflow holes.
And if you havent already addressed power supply/wiring.
