[QUOTE="SoFlaBassAddict, post: 132363, member: 2847"] So, the boat floats. I've got a minor leak somewhere that I need to find and seal. Thats not really a major problem. It's a very slow leak. Need to install the bilge pump I picked up earlier today. I definitely need to brace the bow platform. The torque from the TM causes it to lurch almost to the point of lifting off the boat if it's on high speed. I won't be using it on high speed all that often, but having the piece of mind is nice. I just need to pick up or fab some L brackets to put under the seats for a little strength, and possibly one or two at the bow as well. Other than that I'm fairly happy. I can stand in the bow with little problems. It gets a little fun when I hit the throttle on the TM. I may put a small removable leaning post on the bow seat for when I'm fishing alone to make it a little more stable. We'll have to see. [/QUOTE]
