Love It!!
You will love fishing from a pontoon boat!! Once you do it you will never go back! It is by far the most comfortable way to troll for hours.
Below is a few pics of the Premier I purchased last year from Winnisquam Marine. It's a custom floor plan that Winnisquam has made just for them. As you can see, the entire stern is dedicated for fishing.
I utilized the ski tow bar for my rod holders which worked out great. I also mounted two LED marine lights for those early morning and late evening charters.
I have my planer mast mounted in the front just outside the playpen gate in Berts track system for quick and easy install and removal(sorry no pics). You can walk right up to the mast and reel the boards in which is very convenient.
The downrigger mounts I custom made and had them powder coated. They mount into a Berts track system for easy and quick removal also. The box you see between the two rear facing seats in the center rear is a live well.
Over the winter, Winnisquam Marine mounted a 9.9 Mercury trolling motor with a Panther T-5 remote steering unit and throttle control and they did fantastic job and were great to work with!! Don't have any pics of that yet, but I am looking forward to using it soon!!
I would recommend a similar open stern setup if your looking to purchase.
Good luck with whatever you decide!
Dan
