Manufacturer Provided Description

A clever transom fish box design on the Grady-White Release 283 employs a removable poly divider to accommodate fish as big as 50-80 pounds, and saves ice and room when the catch is a little smaller. A handy removable container in the divided space is great for baits or as a catch-all on cruising days.
