Blackeye and myself had the opertunity to meet a guy who had a livewell in the trunk of his volvo. If I remember right he told us he got it all from EBAY.
what matters with a livewell is how often you change the water, and how much air your pumping through it in relation to how many creatures you have in there. If you can poke a hole in the bottom of your trunk and bring a tube out of the well, it will make it really easy to do frequent tank cleanings.
I dont have one, but I'm sure someone else here can help you more with dimensions, pumps, etc.

i used to keep an 18 gallon round livewell in the trunk of my monte carlo... worked fine for 1 to 2 dozen herring for short duration (couple of hours transport time)...
add a keep alive pump or adapter to a rule pump and you'll be in good shape...

I've still got a free tub with lid that I listed in the classified forum that nobody's grabbed yet. It's about a 30 gallon tub and would come close to fitting in a trunk depending on what you're driving. It's a real nice rugged walled tub. Not a flimsy piece of crap. But, if nobody grabs it by this weekend, it's going to the dump.
Perfect size for a herring livewell.

Thanks Guys I am going to look into this.
Bigbo thanks for the offer but I think that would be too big for me.

Speaking of keeping alive herring...How long can you expect to keep them alive in a large dockside cage? Has anyone kept them alive all summer and fished with them in the fall?
