It's a flat bottom and I will be fishing for bass, bluegill, crappie in creeks, rivers and ponds. I looked at a grizzly and mine is looks the same. I also thought about putting a hatch in the center bench for some extra storage. Most of the foot control models look to me like they would be hard to mount, but the reward would be a foot control. I found a Minn Kota Edge 55lb thrust 45" shart and 12v foot control and the same version tiller control. Mabe a dumb question, but what is the advantage of 12/24 volt?
