For sure get some flippers. The good news is you can get the small ones! They are just for positioning and fighting fish. You hae to really fight the fish too. Steer them where you want to go.
I find a medium handle, not to deep net is ideal. Small enough to store, big enough to be of use.
For rod holders and gear platforms, consider PVC. Many on this board are pretty handy and are always coming up with ways to mount things.
To mount a simple plywood (painted, of course) platform usally only requires buying 4 hitch pins at Home Depot. Most frames have a few spare holes to put them through. Align the board where you want it and hold it in place with tape. Drill through the holes in the frame and into the plywood, This will assure the holes in the board align with the frame holes.
When the frame is fully assembled, place the platform in position, drop in the pins and ad your gear.
