I hunt for the meat, I have friends who hunt for the horns, I ask them every single year if they have found a recipe to make those worthless antlers taste good yet and get the usual MEH! response every year. lol.

I believe you assumed wrong of me? I actually follow strict QDM regulations on my property and most of all my hunting buddies do as well. Part of that is maintaining the doe herd which leads to a more equal balance buck/doe ratio. As for bucks we only shoot 8s or bigger so it ensure there are lots of nice big boys running around from year to year.
 
I agree with the others in that you should just trade up unless the cost of adding another tube / labor cost of having it done is reasonable. That said I bought my tri-toon used two years ago. It's an I/O with lifting strakes and splashguard. More than I need for the inland chain of lakes I live on in the Jackson, MI area but I took it two summers ago up to Burt and Mullet Lakes / Indian River....out the Cheyboygan River and briefly out to Lake Huron. I know you're from Michigan so you probably know where I am talking about. That Mullet Lake is HUGE and we had some serious waves come up and were in the middle of that lake. That boat of mine was in its element in that roush water....no issues whatsoever. There was 6 of us on board with all our stuff and felt very safe and despite the wind and rough water we all stayed dry. The extra lift of that 3rd tube and the weight of that I/O is awesome in an environment like that.
 
I think you should cut a hole in the floor, weld from toon to toon 1/2 way up, angle the front, square off the back. Now you have a huge storage locker. you could put live wells and oh, oh, oh, call the guys at ATM http://www.acrylicaquariums.com/ and have them make you a floor and "box" out of acrylic. You'd be able to see the fish and your gear you have stored!

New idea, see through flooring for Derrick's lottery boat.
 
How about a toon made out of high-impact acrylic so that you could climb down in it and observe below the water line like you were in a diving capsule. That would be pretty awesome too. :)
 
You can probably eliminate most of the cost by not doing the in floor storage... Adding the log alone would be a fairly simple task, unless you have the wave shield which would have to be removed and reconfigured. If not, it's just a bolt-on process.
