Hey Man,

I've got an ODC 816, because of the way the pontoons are designed (the front and rear of the pontoons taper off very steep) weight distribution with a livewell is always difficult. If you already don't know so, slide your pontoons back as FAR to the rear as possible to compensate this. The noodles on the frame won't really work in my opinion, from what I've seen, that region of the frame (back deck) doesn't touch the water. The best you can do is possibly drill holes to slide the seat forward, and slide the pontoons back. Once this is done, a livewell is super solid on the back, of course it's a good idea to put some ply on the rear deck as a base for the livewell. Hope that helps.

David.
