[QUOTE="milli, post: 413812, member: 20997"] boat was rock solid. There are a few things that I plan to change. The front seat is to far forward and I put it in the middle of the boat. I am going to remove it and put in a bench seat like it was when it came from the factory. I also need to move the drivers seat more towards the middle of the boat and back an inch or two. I might also take out the swivel attachment because it sits a bit to high and is awkward driving like that. I plan to get an achormate for the front as well. I am also going to remove the front bow mount trolling motor. It works but will only turn to the left and it is really noisy and in the way of the front fisherman. I plan to keep an eye out for a good used one but until then I am going to just use the transom mount trolling motor. The boat also needs more cup holders and some rod holders. I am going to pull the carb off and give it a good cleaning again. It backfired a couple times and there was crud by the butterfly's in the carb. I went through 5 gallons of gas this weekend and I feel that the motor used to much for how much we ran it. When I adjust the lean and rich mixture it doesn't change much until you give it a full turn then it either idles to high or backfires and shuts off. [/QUOTE]
