If I fish in dads 14' V, I prefer to be in the back or atleast rearward of the point where the floor flattens-out. It's too awkward for me to try & move around in the front. #-o
You could raise-deck the front, from the bow to the middle seat. That would give you lots of storage as well as allowing you to move the front (raised) seat rearward more towards the center of the boat for a little weight "balance". That would still allow plenty of room if you fished with a partner.
