Greenfish,
Nice rig, your 10-footer. Many thousands of those aluminum jons are in use around the country. The forward-of-stern location of your home-made swivel seat shows you appreciate the safety benefit of load distribution and boat balance. Adding a trolling motor (and especially the battery) to your rig will affect the boat's trim. It would look weird, but having the heavy battery located on the floor at the opposite end of the boat from where you sit would likely be the safest way to go. Have you identified which part of the boat's hull is involved in "wave slap" noise?
