[QUOTE="DryFlyRy, post: 71348, member: 941"] Thanks for the compliments! The seat to gunwale braces on there i was originally going to keep and screw them into the top of the deck for added supprt... however, When i tried to remove the ones in the back they were all rusted and wouldnt budge,and when I went to just bend them out of the way i ended up busting a nut... errr that didnt sound right. #-o SO after I saw how much cleaner the deck looked without them, and that it was pretty **** sturdy as is, I think I have decided to start busting nuts all over the place so to speak... and just have the "slotted" brackets take most of the load, and the posts handle the rest. Rod storge is under the front deck on either side of the live well accessed through little hatch doors, I am also able to fit both oars under there too, so everything will be nice and hidden. Great idea with the foot controled tm bracket for a tiller tm!! I may have to steal this from you as I have a foot controled tm out back that has no stearing cables but a perfectly good mounting bracket!! :-k The ob is a 1971 evinrude sportwin 9.5hp... I was getting around 10 mph before i started, Im sure I'll be down to 6 or 7 after all the added weight, not a biggy tho, im not out to race, just putz around the local ponds and lakes. if it really becomes annoying, I may upgrade to a 20, but we'll see...
