One of my optima AGM's bounces around in the back of the leaky boat when it's on boating duty. In a box in the back of the car when on 4x4 touring duty. Looks and seems to work as good as the day I got it a couple of years back.

I wouldn't be doing any deep salt water crossings if you plan on keeping the car for long. Battery life will probably be the least of your worries.

If you make the setup at least splashproof i reckon it would be fine under there for most applications, at least as fine as a battery in the engine bay for example?

Tons of room for a water tank too. It's where aftermarket 70L long range fuel tanks are made to fit for example.
