    why won't my boat plane?

    Will be interested to see what happens with the hydrofoil. It increases drag so curious if it will perform like you want it. Keep us posted! Good luck.

    Outboard Jet in brackish water?

    Won't hurt it. Remove your grates and pins when you change your sleeve. I usually throw a little grease on my pins when I reinsert them.

    why won't my boat plane?

    Not enough HP and the hull is not designed for it either. What you have is a row boat that you can put a motor on to supplement rowing. It was never meant for planning speeds. That is why it has the oversized keel that acts like a skeg; to keep the boat tracking when rowing.

    Bow mount options?

    If you were local I would. But I don't think it would be worth my while to just sell the mount and have to ship it.

    wear on inside of tires

    I was running cross-ply and wearing the inside out. I switched to radials and haven't had the same issue.

    Bow mount options?

    Shaft size different between the two brands. I've seen a mix and match mount on older model but they used or made some kind of adapter. The new Minn Kota motors come from the factory in a cradle/carrier that attaches to the Minn Kota mount. The Gator Breakaway mount for Motorguide is a good...

    Charging 24v Trolling Motor Battery Setup?

    Charging the batteries individually like Larry suggests is best practice.

    Floor material options ?

    Hydroturf. You can get some free samples to check it out. Great product, second only to Seadek for the absolute best floor covering for boats.

    2015 1652 VBW made by G3.....storage nightmare. Please help

    You can either have an open floor plan or storage. You don't get both. Not sure if you bought the boat new, but if you did slicing it up will void your hull warranty. Maybe not ideal but you can use a storage tote to store stuff and keep it out of the way. Stuff will stay dry.

    Where to Start?

    Brother is right. That' not a really a bench...it's a beam that you can sit on; it's structural. Patching the holes somewhat depends on size and location of the hole. Post some pics of what you're working with.

    55lb Bow Mount Minn Kota Edge - How Many Bolts?

    5 bolts is good to go. After a month's use check bolts for tightness, usually have to re-tighten. Jonah

    Mounting spotlights.

    No thanks on the Ridig. My lights were $15 a piece. Rigid something like $200-400+. I'm on a mission for fishing, not landing on Mars.

    Mounting spotlights.

    I would mount it forward with switch on console and make a holder for the handheld.

    Mounting spotlights.

    I used RAM mounts for my lights -- 360 adjustment, removable, no sharp/hard edges. Plus have a remote controlled Gobee light, and an 3 million candle handheld spotlight. I don't light mounted mid-ship; always causes glare unless you have a super tight focused beam of light.
