Cheap and quick, use the cooler with a 12 volt aerator. The more expensive option a live well built into a custom made learning post. Good luck. I hope it helps

I bought a pre fab tank (from West Marine--seafit 14 gallon round. Any pre fab tank will do). I also bought a transom mount live well pump (also from west marine--rule industries). The instructions for placement and mounting are self explanatory. I placed the tank in the stern against the gunwale (mounted to a modified scuba tank mount). That particular tank is tall enough for the outflow (along with a small attached hose) to reach over the gunwale for overflow. I had the pump wired into the console. It works great. When not in use I can remove it completely. It's a low cost option that is totally functional.

I put mine in the lean post, 32 gal Kodiak, with transom mount pump. Works great and out of the way. I took the top off the factory lean post and built a fish station with the opening for the live well cut out. I made it out of starboard.
