Not sure how many rods you are allowed by law there, but you might want to consider an inexpensive (<$150.00) transom mount TM (40# thrust is plenty) and rig it on the side of your boat for side pulling. This allows you a wider spread, whether with cranks or jigs and with the size boat you have, a series 24 deep cycle battery will move you around that way for better than 5 hours steady.
We are doing this very thing out of an older (heavier) Tracker Panfish 16, pulling 2 rods each for a wide spread of presentations. Works pretty well for us:
