Default Fishing Boat

Tiny, judging by the pictures I've seen of your boat, I would have to describe it as the Rolls Royce of bait boats. I can look, drool, and admire the quality, but still not be able to afford one. I'm hoping to retire in about a year and a half, and maybe then I'll have the tiime to build one from styrofoam, using an old trolling motor I have. Am I right in thinking that there is no way to steer the manual boat? I would mostly use a bait boat at Dardanelle Dam, below the powerhouse, when the spillways are closed. I would anchor 100 yards below the dam (legal limit) in the calm water, run the bait boat up to the dam in the calm water, then along the face of the powerhouse. There are 12 openings for the turbines, and very few people can cast far enough to reach 11 or 12, so the fishing is much better there. Obviously, I would have to have some way to have the boat change directions.
