Denny,
I don't think the Seacraft Industries and Tracker 20' hulls are as sensitive to tail weight as the Potter boats. I use the in-deck live well in mine with no problems. It's located just forward of the motor well, and I have a 400lb Merc hanging on the transom. Running with the live well full, I don't need to deploy trim tabs to keep the bow down. That being said, 45 gallons might be pushing the limits. 30 gallons would probably be ok.
