I'm happy as a clam since I bought the boat of my dreams yesterday. It's an alumacraft all welded 1450 MV year model 1998. The lady I bought it from was very sharp and had already installed a floor, some storage compartments, interior lights, running lights, and an automatic bilge pump. Everything is set and ready to go on the boat, all I need to do is install a bow-mount trolling motor (Minn Kota Maxxum). There is a deck on the bow that sits about 3-4 inches below the gunwale. I've seen guys simply bolt a hunk of 2x4 to the deck and screw the trolling motor to it. My uncle has his own fabrication shop, so I was thinking of asking him to make me some kind of aluminum mount that I would then screw or rivet onto the deck. Any input from all ya'll at tinboats would be awesome!
