[QUOTE="Goody32, post: 291573, member: 10424"] Thanks for the well wishes on the build. I am currently running a 9' Tracker Bantam which is basically a pond prowler. I weigh about 260 and I fish that with my Brother in Law in a small pond with a trolling motor and battery plus about 14 rods between the two of us an it worked. We had to let each other know when we were going to move and which way to not throw each other over board but it worked. I pulled in a 8 lbs bass that day to and was able to land it with out swimming after it. The Topper will be much better I am hoping. I also think having two batteries towards the middle front of the boat will help the nose get down while I am running. I am getting a 4 hp outboard for free from a friend so I might have the same issue that you have had on your boat. I am glad I saw your build so I can make those adjustments. I will post pictures when I start my first build. I hope my plans for it work out the way I have it planned!!!!! Just like any project, I will have to make adjustments as I go along!!!! I still have some questions about the electrical though so any help on that would be much appreciated. [/QUOTE]
