Sounds like a good idea.

just remember, The live well will add a fair amount of weight which will slosh around and effect the stability. Only install it in a relatively large and stable kayak.

Also, obviously, make sure to be extra careful waterproofing the area and strengthening the bulkheads. use 4mm or 1/5" plywood for the bulkheads and sizable fillets with plenty of 'glass.
