[QUOTE="Whoopbass, post: 113855, member: 2243"] Unless you have seen that boat in person I would be a little leary about ordering it sight unseen. It might be cheaply constructed where as for the same money you could get a used quality name brand boat. Also a 14'-16' boat would give you a lot more room and stability. I put my livewell in the middle bench seat and in my opinion there is no better place for it. I boxed in the sides and fiberglassed it in. Put hinges on the seat for access. I plumbed mine with an auxillary bilge pump to push water in plus there's one inside for aeration. It's not rally a difficult job and it gets the livewell out of the way so you have more room in your boat. I boxed it in so there was about a foot of space on each side of the well and that is used for storage. That boat your looking at has full aluminum seats so it would be difficult to do this on that boat. My boat had plywood for seats and it was easy to pop off and then reuse the plywood for the lids.
