Thanks kwas. I have really enjoyed working on it. I ended up going with a relatively simple design because I didn't want to be discouraged. It actually turned out better than I imagined. I just scored a 10HP 2 stroke from our cabin in VT. Didn't run last year, but if I get her started it...

And let the second guessing of my descisions begin! HAHA! now Im wondering if i should have put it on the right side. I guess I'll get a better feel for it on the water. I can always move it if it seems inconvinient.

Well thats a good question and I'm afraid I don't have a good answer. I followed the installation instructions and what I've seen on all the boats in my fishing club. pretty much all of the bass boats I have been on in the past couple years were on the left side. Im thinking it has to do with...

Thanks Derek. I just checked out your post. I like the storage you built. Did you take it out yet? I Got the TM mounted last night.

I got the front deck carpeted and installed. I also installed the TM plug and the recessed box. I still need to get the tm mount and th pedestal installed but it's starting to look like a boat. I have kind of neglected the back, I want to get out in the next few days and see how it rides...

I have been looking for a new out board to replace my 6hp long shaft evinrude that came with the boat, its too long and too slow. The boat is rated for a 25hp max. Does anyone know if boats this size with the mods and the added weight of a bow mount tm, batteries etc can get on plane with a...

I got a little more work done this weekend. Cut the storage hatches and cut the TM mount. I also carpeted the storage hatches, the tm mount and the recessed TM pedal box. I wanted to practice on the small things before I carpet the main deck this week. I did make a rookie mistake, the TM...

Got the second coat of spar on this morning. Getting close now! Does anyone have any idea where I can order the aluminum cap for the transom? I'm looking online but striking out. Thanks in advance.

looking good, I'm building a similar layout as you with my 14 footer. I cant wait to fish out of it!

I had a couple hours last night to work on the boat so I decided to install the new transom I made. I am very happy with the results, it feels so much more solid than the old one and even looks kinda nice too considering I am a new to this. I do have one question though. As you can see from...

thanks for the reply. I had already built the mount the other way but after thinking it through I'm going to go with the mini deck. Just seems more stable to me. I'm having fun working on this project after work, it is addicting.

One follow up question since I am kind of just thinking things through as I go. Whats the best way to mount the TM in the front. I see some people cover the whole front of the bow with a small "deck" and some people just add a rectangle wooden bracket to the left hand side. Any concerns on...

Hi, I have been a lurker for the past couple years and always very impressed with the work I have seen done on this site. I fish as a non boater in a local bass club here in Massachusetts. I have always depended on other people to get out on the water and really wanted something I could take...
