[QUOTE="Brine, post: 244889, member: 1053"] Neat rig, and I hope that motor works for you. I like the looks of those older motors. Is there evidence of having the bow cover installed as pictured? The more I see these runabout type boats, the more I like them. If I lived on Golden Pond, I'd have one to simply go for joy rides in. I wonder if you haven't tried thinking through making the back rest removable instead of hinged. Something that you could slide in from the top maybe. This would eliminate the concerns with hardware, and you would just have to consider a home to store it when it's not being a back rest. Not saying that idea would be better, just curious if you considered it. Good luck on the rest of your build. [/QUOTE]
