WOW. tornado in MI? Never heard of that before and i've lived here all my life.
The damages aren't too bad. I've seen wayyy worse. As long as there is no holes or leaks you should be good. 40lbs thrust trolling motor should be enough, but more power is always better. Anyways good luck. I'm on...
I wanted less weight that's why i did the open design. Less wood = less weight. My crv is all wheel drive and tow's the boat fine. I wouldn't try towing a fiberglass boat though. The crv is rated at 800lbs tow load. I can dip all 4 wheels in at the ramp and can still come up fine.

Alot of progress done today. Bow mount came in 2 days ago. Woke up at 8am to start on the front casting deck. Finally 10 hours later this was the final product. Sorry no in between pics because i was too caught up in the moment. Also i'll be starting the main deck next week or so.
Actually the car theft rate for all kinds of vehicle is about the same. It depends on where you live and what you have. From what i know these thieves aren't just breaking into a car and "hot-wiring" it, they are actually flat-bedding the cars right from the driveways.
Been busy with school and all so the project came to a halt. Built more support today and i should be done by next week after exams. In the mean time, i sold my civic to get a crv. check it out!
