Installing a livewell

[Trouthunter]

Has anyone installed a livewell in a Starcraft Islander 26. I have a Islander 26 & would like to install one in this boat is it a difficult job the floor is out at the moment.

Location of drain is probably most important piece of installation of live well or fish box.  You want overboard drain so your location needs to be above water line.  Draining into bilge is not the way to go especially if your boat is in a slip.  If you have floor out and a blank sheet for your layout then having a cooler for a piece of your seating might be an option that would save a lot of plumbing, pumps and valves along with holes in the hull.
