Thanks, the only thing I did was buy the trolling motor. The guy I bought it from frabricated the trolling motor mount and the floors. He just wanted to get rid of it cause he bought a new boat, sold it to me with everything you see in the picture including a third seat for the front but I took that out so I could mount the fish finder there which was also included. Got for a steal too. I am thinking of building a deck on and adding a live well since I fish a lot of tournaments with a buddy of mine and it would be nice to use my boat on the electric motor only lakes instead of his nitro.

Finally got some other pics of my boat..

here is my trolling motor mount, it is bolted through the hull and drilled insets for the clamps to keep it from moving.

next 4 pics are of my live well. (I know it is dirty right now...lol..) anyhow, it is full width of the boat, except on the starboard side I made an area to mount a valve and wiring etc accessed through the pie eye...
It is made from fiberglass panels (1/8" thick ,with 1/4" Luann backer) in between the bottom , sides etc.. is 1" Styrofoam insulation to keep the water cool, the top and hatch have 1/2" ply sandwiched between the fiberglass panels so it can be walked on. all this is glassed into place.
The live well pump sprays out of a 3' long spray bar and fills until it reaches full level (where the overflow thru hull is). every so often the pump comes on to put in fresh water and the extra water flows out the side of the boat. I use the bilge pump to pump it out and I have a 2' long light in it .
