My first pontoon but I have had many other boats. I am hoping that you can let me know what I am missing and answer a few questions. I came to the Ozarks from off-shore tuna fishing in the Pacific. Now targeting mostly crappie and walleye.

Older 18.5' Bennington with a new 75hp Mercury
All factory furniture has been removed expect for console
6 rail mounted rod holders

I am going to add a Garmin 1222 with livescope.
What do you suggest for the transducer pole? I want to be able to scan without using the trolling motor. The mounting shouldn't be a problem but will need a long pole and handle to clear the railings.

Livewell or cooler with ice?

Tackle storage?

Seating for two near the bow? I am using folding chairs now.
