Just splashed her, just under 6 minutes to fill (DIW), hand well needs a little more drainage (two more 1/2 in holes) other than that, Perfect.

Awesome work!
Would you mind posting a few more pics of the in-the-tank inlet and outlets. We have a tank thats rectangular and are using a PVC pipe with holes for the inlet(water introduced throughout water column) and a PVC pipe outlet, both of which the fish bang into. We need to modify but am unsure how and your pics may help.
I appreciate it.

I appreciate it. | Eric,
without having any idea how your tank is setup, If the plumbing is in a corner you may want to consider putting a screen (not screen literally) in front of it which would divert the bait around...for this tank, I used 1/4 inch Plexieglass, cut vertical slits in it with a jigsaw, and drilled 5/16 holes in it. I really can't do any better on a pic, then the one posted. Bottom line, both the inlet, and outlet are behind the screen, the discharge is nothing more then a 1.5in PVC pipe open on the top...I can regulate the water level in the tank by simply putting a shorter or longer piece of pipe in the slip fitting which is connected to a hose barb going to the main discharge. The Inlet is 1 inch pvc, with 3/4 inch reducers directed at an angle to provide good flow around the edge of the tank.

At first glance I thought you were going to wrap the plywood in glass. Making a mold is ridiculously over the top. Unfortunately you will never be able to part with the boat now. Superb craftsmanship.
