Since I was shooting a few photos of the new Kayak I thought I'd highlight one of the features of the BigTuna - The "Tuna Tank" as Jackson calls the hole designed in the floor of the Big Tuna Kayak is designed to serve a multitude of purposes.
Essentially it is a huge scupper hole with access directly to the water under the boat. It is filled with a vacuum formed plastic liner that can be removed and replaced to serve different functions. Firstly it was designed as a live well that can keep fish alive using the very water that boat sits in.
It can also be used as dry storage or as a cooler by using the optional cooler bag or even as a "Glass Bottom Boat" using a clear lexan insert that will be available from Jackson in the future. To use the area as a live well, the liner needs to be removed and multiple holes drilled to allow water to circulate through the liner as the boat moves through in the water. For now I purchased the optional cooler bag and will use it to keep drinks cold. If I lived in Florida or where the water was clear it might be cool to use the lexan plug.
