Ditto on that side pulley and lock. I got my first driftboat almost 2 years ago. I am keeping all of the extras to minimum. I don't even pack a heater (rowing keeps me warm). When you get two buddies in the boat with rods, tackle, etc. it fills up fast. I did add a 3rd rod holder behind the front seat so I can pull a plug along with the 2 in front. That works good. I added a removable seat at the back, which I use when flyfishing on the Yakima River. With that seat you can spread out two casters and it comes out when you don't need it. Take care.
