I am thinking about getting a drift boat but I have a couple of questions. (The boat is a Hyde fiberglass low side) About 60 percent of my fishing are in lakes about 20 to 50 acres by myself. Can I sit in the rear seat and putt around with my electric trolling motor or do I need the weight of some one in the front. Also I am curios if anyone even uses boats like this to fish lakes? 30 percent of my fishing is in rivers around Michigan.
