[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 295324, member: 7544"] I had a sears 12 ft up until this spring when I sold it. I had a 4hp motor with 2 batteries, trolling motor, my brother and me (500 lbs), and all our fishing gear. I thought the boat was very tipsy if you ever stood straight up (even when fishing solo) so I can't imagine fishing from an elevated deck like yours. I'd definitely go the route of lowering the deck to get your leg clearance. The small deck up front on mine didn't seem to have much structural value. I think it was more of a step for getting in and out than anything else. If you look through some of the mods that people have done to theirs, I think you'll find some ideas on what to do as far as a trolling mount. [/QUOTE]
