Why dont they make boats that are 14' by 60" wide?

So the reason people don't put decks on 36" wide boats is for stability purposes correct? I am wondering if putting a large casting deck on a 36" boat is possible if I use pontoons on each side for support and stability? If this wouldn't work could you explain to me why?

What about using a 14' fiberglass tri hull? has anyone put a jet ski engine in a fiberglass boat?

Everything one would want in a bass boat
Would it be possible to take a 1236 jon boat and build a 7'x7' casting deck on the front that is supported on the outside of the boat with pontoons? If this could work I think the pontoons would add a ton a stability and buoyancy to maybe take on a larger max load and if I'm lucky handle a little rougher water or have a smoother ride. any thoughts?

Everything one would want in a bass boat
Hello everyone, My name is Jordan, and I am new to the forum. I have had an interest in making a bass boat that is extremely versatile. I have a list of my own specifications that I want to try and include but I would like to hear some other fishermen's opinions and ideas. For the most part this boat will be used for medium sized lakes and rivers, for bass, pike, crappie, walleye, pan fish. I'm Thinking of going with a 10-14' boat and I really only fish with one other buddy at a time for the most part. Any suggestions or things to stay away from? I would like to know if any of you have features on your boat that really add value to your bass boat. Some ideas I have thought of include, some sort of anchor system, rod storage,a front and back casting platform/deck, seating in the middle, tackle storage, live well, and a bilge pump. Any other creative ideas? or any ideas to, for example, make an anchor system or rod storage? I look forward to hearing from everyone Thank you!!
