[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 191016, member: 55"] At the Atlanta boat show the past few years (I didn't waste any money this year, given that there was nothing there), they have had a small fishing pontoon, with dimensions similar to yours. I don't remember if they were electric only, or had a gas outboard, but they had plenty of storage. What they did, was merely build up about a foot above the deck, and place hatches/livewells, etc in the space. It left a wide open platform, with storage underneath the casting decks, without interfering with the water line, and a slightly higher vantage point. I believe the raised deck stopped a foot shy of the front, and the trolling motor was mounted on the lower section. The TM was a MK Powerdrive mounted dead center, which, when folded up, extended back into a cubby underneath the raised deck. I don't remember if the cubby had a lid which opened up for deploying, or if the motor had to be slid forward before being tilted down (which was probably why the Powerdrive was used, as it allows that, unlike a scissors style motor).
