[QUOTE="Alaskan16, post: 492784, member: 25612"] Tin Man, Here are pics of my motor mount on my Boston Whaler 17' Mountauk... All 1/4" aluminum. I made up a three piece cardboard mock-up of what a needed, used the metal shear at work to cut the pieces. I took these pieces and my boat to a welder who could weld aluminum and had him just tack the three pieces together, as it had some compound angles that had to be adjusted to fit the slope and can't of my slanting deck. Once we were able to twist the mount around to set flat in the deck, and be level for the motor mount, he finished welding it solid! I added a Minnkota two piece removable trolling motor base and was able to mount my 3HP Minnkota on the front. [/QUOTE]
