jbigun, if I were you, I would use the back where it is now and make the custom. I would also rethink the design on your front deck, and put the storage you are losing there..
We thought about that but it would have created a lot of extra work to create the lids and carpeting them for not much reward. Plus you can't really tell from the pictures but there were all different angles up there which made everything difficult and a slight downward slope. Instead I can just slide stuff under the deck extension. I'm going to have a plastic storage container that I can fill with whatever and slide in and out.
I like the thought of the end result of the custom livewell where the original livewell is but I'm no sure how I would remove it and whatnot. Have to take a closer look this weekend.

Why not just make the whole lid open? You could then use the whole area for storage.
Extra work? C'mon
That's half the fun. 
The 2011 tourney trail at Dudley pond. I made a 2 wheeled cart & strapped it to boat. It would have worked, except my build sucked & it fell apart. Was looking to use it when I fished ponds/lakes that didn't have a boat launch.
Mine has handles built in. But, with floor I added its now kinda heavy for one person to lift.

I remember that Evan! It looked great. That is until you used it, LOL!
