My slack tub is about 3 ft long, 10 inches wide at the top and 8 inches wide at the bottom with a V bottome made out of 12 gauge SS and about 20 inches tall with the top edges bent in and down a bit to keep water from sloping or boiling out. Its that size so I can quench a whole plow lay or a big shredder blade. I use it for everything else too.
