The only time I fish from the front of the boat is when I fish alone.
I find the view much better fishing from the back of the boat. Not to mention, it's a lot less work.

Drop shot, with the bail open as the boater speeds off with the TM on max power. Count to 30, close bail, reel in fish. You wouldn't believe how many I've caught like that. Boring, but deadly.

I'm a non boater but most of the guys in my club are pretty laid back and some are older gentlemen. There are a lot of guys who offer to let me run the trolling motor for a while and ask were I would like to go when I'm back boating it but because I'm new to the club and tournaments they must not feel threatened by my but this year is different I'll be in the money!! Lots of research and time put into this season thanks bassresorce!

I have fished and won most of my tournaments from the back of the boat. Just because you are on the back does not mean you are in a bad spot. Just look for the structures that hold bass there could still be fish there even if the person on the front has caught some or not just because they fished the spot does not mean there is no fish.

the key i've found from the back of the boat is the ability to adapt. you might be with someone what never takes the trolling motor off high, or someone that will sit in the same spot for hours. having a wide range of lures tied on helps to. I usually use heavier lures when fishing from the back(faster sink). If your boater has already fished a stump and is moving onto the next, you might not have time to let that light lure fish the whole range of the water column.
