H i,

I hope you are all doing well.

I would like to know if someone has any experience or advice about:
-flyfishing from a dinghy 15
-Poling from a poling platform on a dinghy 15
-Casting from a casting platform on front of the same boat

a bit like this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxuIvfh7wBI

-Installed and run a long tail motor on a dinghy15
like these: http://www.boghogmudmotors.com/longtail.php

Thank you for help

The beam on that boat is pretty narrow for a 15' boat. I'm betting it would be very unstable with a raised poling platform or a raised casting deck in the bow. I'd think it would be fine to cast and pole from though if you were standing on the floor of the boat. I don't know anything about mud motors, can't help you there.

I'm sorry no one replied to you. I asked the designer to jump and answer. But I think he's on holiday.

A lot depends on your sense of balance. I've seen some people stand in touring kayaks. Myself, I'd fall off a jon boat.

Generally speaking, the DK15 might be a bit narrow for a raised poling platform.

But I confident you could stand on the bottom of the hull with little effort.
