[QUOTE="baptistpreach, post: 74576, member: 832"] Good question about the stability. I haven't taken it out with my seats installed yet, but I did do a test to see if I like the placement of things. It isn't the most ultra stable, and I have to be careful but it works fine. As for your 20lb trolling motor, I would think it would be too small. I've run mine with a 50lb and it did fantastic, and I've got a 30 or 35 I'll test out and let you know how it handles. Again, check craigslist, you'll find a better trolling motor for cheap. I got a 9.5hp motor on mine, but I haven't tested it yet (or checked to see if its running!), so I can't really say about the 15hp motor other than I'm sure that's the biggest you can put on it safely. Plague away with the questions, I'm just glad to see another one on here! Soon, you'll see my finished product. I just figured out where to put my switch panel and FF last night, so that's one of my last hurdles! Keep it up, depending on your fishing needs, you might try building a floor a little lower than mine to help with stability, I really wanted to maximize storage, and have a "big" livewell, so that's why I did what I did.
