I've been using the live well on my new SE on the last several trips to keep black sea bass and fluke alive until I head home. I've got to say it's an awesome set up that kept sea bass as well as menhaden(bunker) alive yesterday on a 90 degree day for 7 hours until I bled them. Parker got this right as it works great and doesn't take away any space since it's under the seats. Cleaning it is easy also. After two pilothouses since my last CC, I'm again appreciating the fishability of the center console too. Being able to fish off the bow when the lines are going one way and the boat is going another is nice. I loved my pilothouses but the 23 SE was a perfect boat for me to downsize to.
