The live well is the main issue. Moving the weight forward helps to balance the boat out nicely. Having the livewell above the deck is a big bonus. It's a lot of work but I really like the lay out of my 20 sf. By incorporating the livewell into a seat/leaning post combo and I still have lots of room to move around the stern of the boat. Another option is to buy a leaning post livewell combo and leave the seats in the stock config.
On the 20 sceptre I'm re doing I plan on using it for fishing and taking the kids inner tubing etc so the seats make a useful step to climb over the transom and onto the bracket so they can get in and out of the water easily. Have you thought about adding a bracket? I know some guys dont like them....
