    I actually welded some 1.5" x .625 bar in two sections under that mount, I'm going to drill and tap my holes in the base after I mark them from the motor base, and mount the trolling motor that way. This way I don't have to reach the underside.

    Yeah, that stuff doesn't look bad and has some good reviews, It has the light gray color like i would want. and It's not too pricey. Might have a winner! I've went a little crazy and started buying things for my now bare hull... I got a few of the important things, and a few of the not so...

    anyone have any comments on an anti skid deck deck cover like herculiner or duabak or the like? I'm thinking I want a simple coating for the decks... bowfishing can get messy. =)

    question on a small leak repair on an Alum boat for you all.

    If it is taking on a lot of water I would say just have it welded, it really shouldn't cost a whole lot to get it done... I'm pretty sure it would be cheaper to weld that one than to buy a new one.

    1652 Alwweld basic jet

    I'm not exactly sure what my boat itself comes out to. But it was 3900 for my 1652 alweld with the 27" transom for the boat and trailer. the only "options" I got was the high transom (27") and the diamond plate bow and corners, other than that, it is a basic boat.

    yeah, the only thing i have to compare the torque to is my dads deck boat. I know that with his 150 if the engine is trimmed wrong, if you let go of the wheel it could instantly snap the wheel to the (left or right can't remember) lock. And being in a small river doing this, if i was to ever let...
