Thanks for the feedback! Gotta agree with the upgrade route.. pretty sure the load capacity is an issue

If you just got the v2 livewell, open the level adjustment inside and carry half as much water. You should still be able to handle a decent amount of bait.

yeah.. I was hoping that would be the case. Even with a half-full livewell, my kayak sinks considerably and I start taking in a little water. Pretty sure its the rudder holes being submerged that lets in a little over time.

I could only comfortably hold a little over 1.5-2'' of water. My sardines were barely submerged but it still kinda worked.
