Front Deck Build

[Popeye]

There ain't nuthin' wrong with MotorGuide. Mine werks great and the time my main battery died and I was already trolling I just used the TM to troll back to the dock. I was only about 1/2 mile from the pier but it was upstream. Dialed her up to 5 and took off.

I like MotorGuide. Have a 54# on the bow, and a MinnKota 40# on the back. The Tracker had a MG 46# on the bow of it. Not one bit of trouble with it.

pbw I bought a Transom mount MinnKota endura last week at BP it is a 55# and was $239 w/$60 mail in rebate, still going on. I'm going to flip the head around and mount on the bow

Quick Post:

I removed the rear decking made by previous owner, probably the only decent thing he made. I cut it down to size so I can operate a tiller motor from the decking yet its still a deck for rear person to fish from. Then i put on some carpet .

Going out to dinner, when I return I'll post photos... Later tonight o dark 30 I'll be wiring. I've got big plans to go fishing in said boat on Sunday :shock:

Saturday I may visit the bass pro shop in Cincy. ( I collect tshirts from them )

The paddle is for size reference its 4ft long.

Now I need hinges/handles for hatches. Cover hatch for hole under rear bench

Front deck is good. Waiting on a dry cell battery to fit under rear decking where the hole is under the rear seat then I'm putting a carpet cover on it.

The front decking I just need my hinges and handles put on but I sent back the first pair I ordered. Then I'm going to finish out the inside of the hatches.

I got a BPS trolling motor. Seems pretty nice, got both trolling motors wired up and on fuses to the big battery under the rear hatch.

Front seat I don't know where I want it mounted, I'll probably use the same type of mount I used in the rear. I need a post to raise up the rear seat too.
