Okay... my first investments will be a powerpole and 101lb trolling motor. I'm planing on a couple foot pads for the powerpole, one on the poling platform, another near the bow. I'm planning on the GPS deal with the trolling motor, I'll wear the small remote controller around my neck. (The power pole has a remote control option too, but I figure it'll get complicated with two remotes)
As I save $$$ for future investment...
I want a leaning post for my poling platform (I won't be doing any poling and I'd like to lean my older bones a bit)... what about forward... would you inshore guys prefer an 18" stool or a bass seat?
I won't be doing much fly fishing... will a small t-top for some shade be a bad idea? I'd like the room for storing a vhf and fm radio in a small box up in a t-top. My console is pretty small.Plus it'd be nice to have rod holders up there. There's not much room behind the console and the bench seat.
Would a t-top inside the profile of the boat inhibit fishing at all? I'd put the FM and VHF antennas on top.
Anything else?
Refer to the attachment for the deck layout...
By the way... the bait wells (3) have a window that opens on the deck, thoughI thinkto be less than useful for taking bait out.
I'm trying to slowly build the perfect boat... any help and advice, experience, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim
