[QUOTE="Piomarine, post: 394435, member: 16014"] OK so I was getting some boat work done today and a thought and design concept came to me. I know that many of us have converted transom mount trolling motors to clip on the bow, but that in doing so we risk hurting the motor should we hit some underwater structure. I was thinking about this and drew up a design that I think could work to relieve this problem. This design is open to anyone for trial and critique. Disclaimer...I have not built this yet and have no clue if it will even work, but I hope some of you do and share your results! As for my work today, it was a productive and HOT day (nearly 102-103). I got the floor out and sealed, the transom epoxy sealed, and the outer gunwales cut and glued up. I scarf jointed each piece and glued them up with polyurethane glue. Tomorrow, if it's not raining, I am going to re-paint the transom and touch up the blue on the sides. If I can get the hardware I may try and get the floor installed and begin framing for the benches, side-lockers, and foredeck. Pictures tomorrow :) [/QUOTE]
