I've seen a rig like that before in bassin magazine. They called it an okechobee rig. Uncle Josh baits makes a package with the hook, weight, and their creature bait. I think it's been around a while.
I have only seen one transom mount trolling motor with foot control built in. It would be cheaper to be cheaper to take a hand control trolling motor and buy a procontroll. The procontroll adds a pedal. I hope this helps.
I got my boat back from the fabricator and I noticed how the transom slants up. Would this boat take a long shaft motor? The transom on my other boat is flat. Thanks for looking.
I am in the process of converting a 1432 that for now will be electric only, but in a few years I might get an outboard. The boat has no capacity plate. Does anyone know the weight and hp capacity of a 1432. It has 48 in beam.
