[QUOTE="BIDZ, post: 379606, member: 17237"] I've been busy here lately, but I managed to wire electric to the trolling motor, mount the rear nav light, and take the boat out for its maiden voyage. A few snags.... the battery (Everstart Marine 29DC) would not fit where I wanted to put it and I had to store it under the front seat, which added to my issue of being nose heavy. I was able to take her out for a bit yesterday and confirm my suspicion that the boat is very very nose heavy. When standing on the front deck the rear is out of the water which is no good. All the more reason to get a motor soon! The boat is no where near as stable as I thought it would be, but i'm sure that adding some weight across the boat will help. Here are some pics. Let me know what you think [/QUOTE]
