BassCat livewells

[CarkyF]

It seems like I read the BassCats with the triangle shaped livewells hold 10 extra gallons of water.  For the record, I have not looked in the wells of a Cat with these, but looking at the pics of the new Caracal, the livewells do not look as large as the ones in a PII. 

Is this just an optical illusion?

Here is the answer from Bass Cat


The triangle shape allows them to be larger than competitive wells, they are massively deeper also. The shape prevents some sloshing of water to further protect fish. The depth increases circulation because the ammonia falls to the bottom, and the aeration or recirculation pulls the highest concentrations first and water quality increases.

The live well doors immulate the live well shape as they must fit on a panel in that region to mount and function The offsets on lips and size also reduce water from sloshing on the deck and escaping in rough water. The size of opening reduces fish escaping usually at weigh in time or while culling, when your leaving doors open the longest.

Everything from color to style of spray bars has a reason and it has been tested more than once with the best results out there. The location of the overflow, a taper added to the sump after the first triangle wells because a big fish would lay at the bottom, they love the bottom, and their gills would not function properly. Two fish find the bottom, big ones and babies.


Hope this answers your question....
