Seems to me you'd want that kind of weight centered fore-aft, balanced across the beam and as low as possible.

Good point, I'm probably not doing the bait/live well at least not for awhile think I'll just be using a ice chest for now.

Just my two cents but I have a buddy that is a heating and cooling guy. We went to his shop and built a batter box out of lightweight duct work material. Unlike the diamond plate steel, the weight of the box is pretty minimal.
