I have a remote control trolling motor.I am going to stand up there and spot fish while trolling with the remotes on my rods.Work the shoreline,cover a lot of ground.I bought one of those aluminum platform ladders that painters use to stand on.It folds up nice and has little rubber feet on it and fits perfect in the bow of the boat.I run a rachet strap down through the hole in the front pedastal so it is keeping constant pressure on the step pulling down for stability and it works great!.Also plan to mount a ski eye up on the poling platform to pull wakeboarders and waterskiers.It will also help by allowing the person getting out of the water on the dive n dog (awesome ladder)to grab the steps on the platform.I will call Butch and have him design one for me that does not interfere with the live wells and rear pedastal seat mounts.Mount rod holders on it also for trolling.Mount lights under it shooting down in the water for night fishing.Much more uses than poling.
