Would front heavy kayak mess up the trackin? Any other problems?

I have an old Mini X that I actually turned the front hatch into a bait tank. I built my own and it is actually inside the hatch. It worked great, but it was very small (the hatch is tiny up there.) I could really only get 2 fish in their... I would drain it on the way in.
