[QUOTE="morecoffee, post: 245889, member: 7747"] Thanks for the positive comments guys. I got out and used the 3.5 Mercury last weekend, after I broke her in I was a little disappointed with the performance, but then after using it all day my disappointment went away. It was quiet, started right up, good on gas, and it got me to 6mph, as I shifted my weight forward it started gaining speed but I can't safely sit too far forward so the plan is to mount the trolling motor & group 27 battery up front and hopefully that will help. The main thing I need to do is mount some seats, my back starts to kill me after a while! My weekend plan is to mount a treated and carpeted piece of plywood to the top of the back and center bench along with two seat mount bases so I can sit and fish. Pictures to come, but for now some pictures of my last outing, I love this little boat! This one didn't make it! [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_5796.JPG"]33816._xfImport[/ATTACH] Rod holders in use.
