I've been thinking abiout a bait tank as well the one in the floor on my 20 is inoperational. I bate them in thebfloor anyway under the leaning post I think would but too much weight to the stern and Id rather have a cooler there , so I was think of one under thebfront console seat ? Any ideas

I've been thinking about that, too. There aren't too many options. An oblong HPDE tank might fit under the console seat. US Plastics, as well as a few other online vendors, sell various tanks/containers that may work.

What about turning the anchor locker into a livewell? Have a pump supply water and an overflow/strainer keep the water level consistent - like a reef tank.

Probably make for some red nosed bait, not to mention menhaden. That much weight that far forward on such a little boat will have a huge effect also. Put a 40 or 50 lb. cement bag in the anchor locker then try two of them. You might be surprised how differently the boat responds.

I'll take your word for it.

You're right. I didn't realize the ride would be that affected. Though it'd be more like 150-200 lb. @ 8 lbs./gallon of saltwater.
