[QUOTE="KDM, post: 24132, member: 314"] From the few 'toons I've fished out of, removable rod holders are what most guys were using. Make sure there is a place to mount a rod holder close to the drivers seat. It seems obvious, but I've seen enough models that lack an adequate spot for one to make it worth a look. Trolling motors mounted on the front of the decks never seem for be long enough or strong enough for the large wind resistance of a pontoon. If you use one, I would make it removable from the mounting plate as those that are permanently mounted tend to be tripping hazards when boarding or dismounting the boat. Especially when carrying heavy coolers and other bulky items. Most 60 hp motors should be able to slow you down enough especially if you backtroll. A very long handle net will be worth its weight in gold as well. Leaning over the rail to net fish WILL leave a mark on your midsection if you get on a good bite. LOL!! Good Luck!!!! [/QUOTE]
