[QUOTE="Brine, post: 117193, member: 1053"] We have lots of guys in the club that run their 9.9 while using a pedestal in your size boat and it doesn't look to be the least bit unstable, and since the tiller can pivot up, it seems to work just fine sitting at that height. That said, I think if I was building from scratch, I might consider a second pedastal base (see bassboy's Yazoo conversion) If I were running a bigger motor like his. If the seaboard was in the budget, you might consider using sheet aluminum. Last time I checked, it was running about $250 a sheet (4 x 8 .125) and you'll never have to replace it. I think I may be using an ACM panel (4 x 12) that I can get for $100. Just don't have anyone with first-hand experience to say it works good or not. I've yet to see a dowside for me tho. I would leave the baitwell where it is. Good luck with the build, and I look forward to seeing your progress. [/QUOTE]
