Well, I finally did it. I finally overcame the psychological hurdle of drilling a hole in my boat and made a new mounting plate for the trolling motor last night. The prior owner had a plate that was by the front bench and that just didn't work. My new plate is up towards the front and keeps the trolling motor closer to the centerline of the boat. The handling and boat control is much improved.
On other fronts, the boat just isn't suitable for decking. I've tried standing on the bench seats and it is just too tippy. Although I won't have my mini-bass boat, the boat is incredibly functional and I will definitely use it for stuff other than bass fishing. I just need to clean up some of the clutter and replace the fish finder.
