1987 14' Starcraft

<LI>Bow mounted trolling motor with hand control or transom mounted with foot control?</LI><LI>if bow mounted, will the motor scare the flounder even if it is behind the lights?</LI><LI>I plan on constructing PVC frame on hinges that I can flip down onto surface of water (attached to top of bow) when gigging, should the lights be in, on, or above the water surface?</LI><LI>will an onboard generator scare the fish? I figured I'd get a generator to run lights, and other auxilary equipment. </LI><LI>is this boat good enough for floundering? I am restoring it currently, so it is stripped as you will see in pics.</LI>

Thank you!
