I would bet that most V-20 splashwells keep water in them...and every self bailing V-20 has water comming in the floor drains. I do the same as you, putting plugs in the drain holes to keep the floor dry.
A full 60 gallon tank is 420 pounds....do like MJ said, go out with 5 gallons (385 pounds less) in the boat and some ballast that weighs 385 pounds (sand bags, batteries, kids, friends) and check it out.
