I got the same boat. You're gonna love it! Just so you know, I put my front cleats just about straddling the angles where the side gunwalls meet up with the straight section that make the bow point. Also, if you are up for a bit of grinding, it is possible to open up the undersides of the gunwales in strategic places and run your wiring inside them. I even ran my trolling motor harness from the back of the boat that way and put my fuse panel up under the console. Gives it a very clean look. I enclosed the wires in that black flexible split conduit before running it in the gunwalls to further reduce risks of abrassion. Keep in mind, there a couple of sheetmetal screws holding one of the two boat ID plates under the port gunwall. You should remove those if you plan to run the wiring inside them.

Have fun!

Great looking boat man. If you don't mind me asking, where did you find that seat caddy and cup holder? I need a few of those.

I used a similar mount for my front trolling motor for several years. I found that I needed to through bolt my motor (55# thrust) to prevent the motor from loosening/coming off the mounting block. I also secured the upper part of the shaft of the TM to the boat (via a bungee) to prevent all of the torque (bouncing) applied to the TM mount when driving down the road.

Not sure if you'll have the same problem or not, but the bungee and through-bolting did the trick.

Nice rig.
