Baitwell vs Dry Storage

[Wolf81101]

I am considering moving my baitwell to the Port side dry storage under the seat in the rear. That space is small and seldom used because of the oil/water seperator I will re-mount. I will then use the space under the seat in front of the console for dry storage. When I fish it is usually 2 (no mre than 3) of us. So the rear seats are not used and I pull the cushions so they don't get ruined. Any thoughts on this big a change?

I fish mostly inshore/skinny water so I don't keep red fish or trout alive. I catch and release until I get 1 or 2 to keep and they immediately go on ice, so I only keep small bait in the live well.

WOLF,
I would estimate how much weight would be shifted to the stern port side. Then I would place that much weight in that area and run the boat to see if it affects the balance or if it causes the boat to list to one side. Good Luck.
