[QUOTE="lap202, post: 453574, member: 22187"] So havent left an update in awhile as I havent got much more done on the boat. I got the trailer working by running a ground from 1 side of the hinged trailer to the other. Have been fishing the boat ever since. This last weekend we fished 3 out of it successfully, tho it only topped at 11 and really dragged with the 6hp. Will be trying g a 10 hp on it sometime to see if it can handle it. With 1 or 2 people the boat can fly. Only concerns right now are in regard to the battery and motors putting too much weight on the back when it's just me. Will be looking at either front mounting my trolling motor or running wires to relocate the battery. Once my deck is in that may help also.[img]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180618/68b356104917cd105219df56d4d1b8b5.jpg[/img] Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
