That is exactly what I'm thinking. My dads boat doesn't have a deck, just a short front bench and then a regular bench about 2 or 3 ft back. That bench has a seat and I tried fishing out of it Wed. and it was way more comfortable, but I couldn't quite reach the trolling motor. I checked into an ext handle from MK and I think that will be the ticket.
