Not really a new topic, just a THANKS to Roscoe,Rickdb1boat& Mooner for the advice given back in March when I first joined iboats. The kicker motor installation went smooth and works great. Pushes the boat at 9mph WOT and makes slow trolling very easy and quiet!Have since added a bow mount foot control trolling motor and added a deck and pedestal seat in the bow to accomadate the foot control.The boat is much more fishable with these additions.The advice given at this forum made me feel alot better about drilling holes in my trasom.Once again Thanks ...Jofish
