Location: Hayward, WI | I think the main reason is most boats aren't designed strictly for muskies. I'd guess 95% of multispecies boats are sold primarily to walleye fishermen, where a big livewell would be nice for keeping them alive for tournaments or till they get home. I have an Alumacraft Navigator. The opening is good sized I guess but not full size. I put a 44" musky in it once to try to revive it, and didn't seem to have any problem getting it in or out. It is possible to go head or tail first at an angle...
I'd guess part of the smaller opening might be to lessen the chance of water sloshing out?
