LOL!! 
Kira how come you don't mount your trolling motor in the front?? It's alot easier to control your boat pulling from the front rather than pushing from behind. Also saves on you turning around all the time and twisting your head like Linda Blair. Just a thought.

The seat swivels, so it's no big deal. The boat seems to sit in the water more "correctly" with the battery & motor in the back. I like to keep the front clear on the sides so I can stretch out my legs. I fish from the front, the back, both sides...and my anchor is in the front....there's only one spot to tie it.

Flip, I thought you were going to say something about floatation devices.
I'm going to hell for that one |

They need to be big, otherwise the 50 lb. braid would be overkill.

See you there. Save me an aisle seat.

Anywhere without a current, sure. But I can tilt the motor up and still use the oars to navigate through really shallow water and pads. It fits perfectly in the back of my pickup without overhang.
Next to the transom I put a bumper sticker that reads, "My other boat is also a dinghy."

Custom Gator inboard V-8 jet boat. If you see anything resembling the pics or video below and/or you ears start bleeding from the roar of a souped-up Small Block Chevy, then I'm probably in the neighborhood.
