[QUOTE="h21ighlander, post: 268972, member: 9122"] Aren't those little boats fun? I did many of the same mods shown here; added a small anchor with the crank winch in the stern, and small rollers leading the anchor rope along the inside of the gunnel to the bow, where the anchor resides. With the addition of a Briggs and Stratton 4 stroke outboard, which I can repair myself, I can move around the small Wisconsin lakes very nicely, thank you. Great little boat to use as a base for fly fishing, too! Stern mounted Minn Kota helps with control and attitude; battery is in bow. Next consideration may be to move the fuel tank closer to the bow for better trim. I mounted the low back supporting seats which clamp on the original seats. The raised seats increase the center of gravity too much for my comfort zone...I don't move as easily as I used to. [/QUOTE]
