[QUOTE="bigdog2594, post: 311229, member: 8474"] Hey there, beautiful mod. Take a look at my 64 Aerocraft I did last year. https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=25107 Awesome boats as they are sturdier and handle a little more weight than others the same size. I went with a little different layout as usually my wife and kids are with me. I will post pictures of the Bimini top I made for them in the back of the boat for those real sunny days. That way I can fish up front and they are relaxed and cool. It is almost done. Got side-tracked by another project. What I found is having the back seat offset to the right (easier steering for the motor), that when I am on the front, and someone is sitting in the back seat, the boat is off center. I purchased a racing car seat slider. I have it almost ready to be mounted with the base so that I can actually slide the seat from one side to the other so that I can balance the boat better. I will post pics when it is complete. But I know what you are talking about with motor and driveways and speed bumps. I am always paranoid the motor is going to get damaged. I love your idea for the transom saver. Any chance you can show a little more of it and or throw some more detail about it out there? I would love to make something similar to give me a little more peace of mind. [/QUOTE]
