I would have dang sure tried one at that price. When I was looking at them Cabelas was sold out and Bass Pro didn't carry them. On line at KeepAlive's sight the pump, larger filter and shipping was going to be like $129.00.

I have it cut down to about a 25-30 gallon tank. The barrel guts pretty flimsy after you cut the lid off so I left about 6 inches of the sides on the top when I cut it off. I pushed it down inside of the bottom of the tank and used some stainless bolts to hold them together. You can kinda see it in the picture. These do take up some space in the boat. I think I might try the round cooler idea if I can get a pump.
