[QUOTE="wmk0002, post: 413906, member: 13975"] The trolling motor bracket seemed more sturdy on the water. When I dropped the TM down on the trailer and pushed on the head side to side it seemed to twist the bracket slightly which had me a little worried. But with it dropped down into the water I didn't notice that at all. And 46lb of thrust seemed to be plenty for a boat this size. On the higher speeds it would whip the front end around like it was nothing and could throw you out if not careful. I think it will be perfect. Regarding the general stability of the boat, I was seriously impressed with it. I was getting on the far back corners of the boat fiddling with the motors' trim angles and it was barely leaning. I didn't get a true measurement but it seemed to only be drafting maybe 3" of water. [/QUOTE]
