Livewell idea

[oldfielder]

Pix of Capt. Brian's boat have me thinking-Do you guys think I will have problems if I put the mounts for a livewell on the middle of the top of my transom and then just put the well up there when I need it. I do a bit of live bait fishing, but not too much. It seems that this would be the easiest solution in terms of draining the tank. It sounds a little bit like a PIA, but I think I'd rather do something like that than plumb an outlet for the in-deck well, as I really can't get to the inside of the bottom of the transom to fit the thru hull.
I'm just wondering about the stability of mounting a 15-20 gallon tank up there for occasional use.
I welcome your suggestions about the common sense of my idea. I've been going around in circles about this livewell thing for too long now!

How about something that hangs off the transom on the outside instead of the top of it? I tried to google a picture for you but could not find anything, I have seen them on boats before though.
