This is going to be my first mod, this site is great it has given me a lot of ideas, so I was hoping to get some input before I start. I have a 1448 Alumacraft w/ a 15hp Yamaha Four Stroke and I just picked up a motorguide foot controlled trolling motor for the bow, I want to put a deck up front w/ a pedestal seat but I am not sure what size pedestal to get, I want it to be stable but also not low enough where your knees are in your chest, so I was thinking maybe 11, 13, or 15 inch pedestals but like I said this is my first build so I'm not sure which one to get. I also want to put a small deck in the back just for fishing w/ some sort of pedestal set up but I am concerned on the ability to steer the motor when underway. The first pick is the layout of my boat, and the 2nd one finished is a forum member who had the same idea. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
