[QUOTE="DiveLiberty, post: 450145, member: 22384"] Thanks for the suggestions. I've seen the XD motors around. You're right, the shifting in the tiller handle would be awesome, especially when coming in to a dock or the trailer. Count yourself lucky! Theoretically, the 3/4 pin style seats should be very easy to move around or remove. When it's just me fishing, I'd be happy to just have the "drivers" seat and have the rest of the boat open. I say theoretically because mine have turned out to be pretty stiff to remove. I may try to put some grease or lube on them to see if it helps. Technically, the pin style isn't supposed to be used while under power, but my previous motor only pushed the boat about 18 MPH, so I felt pretty safe. This was my first build so it's just what I went with at the time. If I had known that I would be building a console, I definitely would have went with the wider, more permanent, seat posts. [/QUOTE]
