The more I thought about it the less sense it made to me. I'd have to bring at least 4 five gallon buckets, load them with water and empty them at the end of the day. I'm back by the motor (my arms are only so long) and I'm 190 lbs. To offset that I would need at least 160 lbs .. the 4 five gallon buckets. The easiest remedy for me is to move my butt forward using a tiller extension.My entire goal of the little jon boat is to keep it a light weight and a one man deal. The boat is 55 lbs. The o/b is 30 lbs. All my gear is probably 40 lbs. When I finally get the wheel kit done and installed life should be easy. I can take the boat off the roof, fold down the wheels, load my gear and lay the motor inside. Wheel it down to the water. Mount the motor and go !</blockquote>
