Bobberstop....I wouldn't want to be sitting very high in a 14 footer anyway....


If you mostly shoot docks....I think most people do that standing up....and standing up on a raised deck in a 14 footer might be pretty unstable....


You might think about just putting a floor in your boat with pedistal bases in the floor..... and in your benches..... and use the small deck in front for your TM and maybe some configuration of rod holders (if you think you might be interested in spider riggin)...

If you notice in my pic....my home made rod holders screw right in to flush mount 3/4 pin style pedistal bases....I can move the rod holders anywhere in the boat that I have a pedistal base...
