hey guys,i bought a coleman crawdad with a trailer. well due to some titling issues, the trailer will most likely be welding scrap. so i need to be as lightweight as possible with this boat as i will be loading on top of the explorer and carrying it it to the fishing holes. so the six horse chrysler i have is out the window, just put it on craigslist. so now the only option of propultion i have is my minn kota endura 30 lb trolling motor. anyways to the point. i am planning on modifying my coleman crawdad to be a self-sustaining, electricity producing boat(during the daytime anyway). i plan on integrating and hiding a small 10w solar panel in the design. i know 10 watts inst a lot, but i plan on spending most of my time fishing and not trolling(if the fish are biting), while letting the solar panel soak up the rays. also,i will be adding a floor. so anyways,i got me some carpet, plywood and solar panel, with 12v charge controller on the way, i plan to start tomorrow, i hope to have some pictures posted by the weekend.
i will attach some pictures of the boat and the solar panel i just ordered. hope this sparks some constructive criticism, as this is the first boat i will be modifying, and i am kinda nervous :? .
