Bass boat design (any suggestions/info)

[justinDesign]

I am an industrial design student who is currently working on a design for a bass boat. The boat will not look like a conventional bass boat but perform close too it. I would like to know if anyone has some suggestions. Just to get whoever is reading started like necessary area to stand up and fish, necessary storage space, or necessary horsepower. I would like to know things about draft, proper seating, safety requirements, U.S. trailer regulations and anything that has to do with standards. I would also be interested in any knowledge having to do with unconventional inland fishing boats even if they are a little crazy. Attachments and web pages are always appreciated. Thanks
