I have been thinking of adding a platform to the front of my 14'. Most of what we fish here in the NW is small boat water so show your rig...:)
Here are a few sights I looked up to get ideas.

Redid a mirrorcraft I bought a few years back.  Absolutly love it now.  Heres the before and after pics.  Unfortunatly I don't have any pics of it with all the goodies I put on it.  Check out tinboats.net for LOADS of info.
 
Boat porn...

A few photos of my old 14 footer, I sold her last weekend. It may help with ideas for your boat

Thanks TBL.  I'm pretty proud of it.  Really can't remember the exact #'s, but I would say around 600 - 650 in the boat and trailer.  More of my time than anything else

Crappie, I didnt even think those photos were of the same boat. Very nice job on that.
 
Here is my "new" rig that replaced the 14 footer in my first post. I got this boat at a great price so I couldnt pass it up. It came with the 70hp I hung the 9.9 on it and ran controls to the console. A Terrova bowmount with I Pilot, lowrance Elite 5 up front and one at the console, and a Lowrance HDS 7 gen 2 with HD side imaging also at the console. I had her out once so far since I got it, I really like the upgrade over my 14', and I really loved my 14'.

Thanks anzomcik.  Like the new ride you got.  Bet that thing clips along pretty good with the 70hp pushing it.

She does pretty good, when that 70 decides to go to the big lake in the sky this boat will get a 115 (max hp motor) and then it will make the local lakes very small.
 
Again very nice job on the boat.
