[QUOTE="crabtree, post: 240892, member: 7484"] I should have probably mentioned earlier that I'll be putting a 9.9 tiller on the back (hp restricted lakes) and I already have the trolling motor for the front. I'm just looking for the least intrusive way to mount it because I'll probably redo my boat after a season of using it. I think I'm just going to do a 2' deck extension like someone mentioned earlier because I feel that the existing deck it a little too short to mount the base on. I think it would be too cramped. Then I'm thinking to mount a piece of 2x6 to the deck with toggle bolts, then screw another 2x6 on top of that, then lag bolt the trolling motor to the stacked 2x6 assembly. Do you guys think the toggle bolts are necessary, or should I just screw the 2x6 down with stainless screws? I'm pretty certain that the aluminum has plywood underneath the front deck. Reed, do you have a link for the velcro you used on your build(s)? And to answer your question, it's an Alumacraft mv1648ncs. [/QUOTE]
