A few things to note,
Yes you can put a 180 in it, the drive well is exactly the same.
If you want a hatch in the front, there is a flat under the mesh cover to install one. One cool thing you could do is buy the rectangular hatch, install that and move the round hatch to the bow.
It's very efficient, stable and paddles well. Not as stable as a pro angler but it's two inches narrower than the 12 and 4 narrower than the 14 and weighs almost 40 pounds less.
