Sevylor XL280

[bashr52]

I've had this inflatable in my basement for years, and with family in town for the weekend we decided to drag it out and inflate it. I see it is stamped it can take up to a 3.5 horse outboard. How the heck would you mount one to this thing???
It's round all the way around with no provisions for a motor mount?

Ya I was real confused about that myself! However, I searched and found that you have to buy a bracket that will attach to your oarlocks and rear of boat for transom mount. Its basicly a "U" shaped tube design witha piece of wood about a foot x nine inches or so u- bolted to the end. You can get them from sevylor.com or go to bass pro shop, thats where i found them the cheapest. I just got the trolling motor sevylor sells, mounts without a transom bracket. Hopefully it works well. if not i will be getting a bigger motor+mount. Good luck!!
