Is it a good idea to add a raised deck with removable seat to the middle of the boat with the batteries and gas tank bellow this platform?
No rear deck and no front deck (only small front platform just big enough for trolling motor).
Leave the middle factory bench seat and just put the deck on top of it extending it with supports to both sides to have enough room for the gas tank and the two trolling batteries?
I thought that I could control the bow mounted trolling motor with remote control from the center when fishing.
Sit on the rear bench when cruising with tiller.
Would this give a good weight distribution for the boat?
Is there any potential drawbacks for this kind of setup?
I welcome any input before start doing work that I will regret later.
