I trailered the Gator-Tail over to Boat Right to have James (TXSHOCKWAVE) build me an elevated casting deck for the bow of the Gator-Tail as well as a gigging light setup all of which could be removed in under a few minutes.
The idea being I can run with nothing on the bow (when out just having fun) if I want to go fishing quick disconnect for the trolling motor and then place the platform on the bow. Turn buckles secure it to deck. A removable light bar can be inserted & hooked up in under moments, which will allow me to transform the casting deck into a gigging deck. The entire unit will only add around 60LBS of additional weight to the rig.
I am going to have the entire thing powder coated identical to the poling platform he did previously. James has sent me some progress pics but I do not want to post them until it's 100% finished until then sit & wonder but dang this thing is SICK!
Of course the platform will have a couple of rod holders, a step & railing to keep the anglers / giggers safe.
More to come...
