I asked my boat mechanic about installing a minn kota riptide bow trolling motor. He said it will be a challenge since the boat is all foam and asked me to check the forums how others did it.

I am quite sure the railings will have to go, bow light will be re-positioned. He mentioned that the starboard side cleats seems the better place to put it and will need to have a custom plate to attached the base of the trolling motor.

Anyone has done this project on this ole' reliable boat?

Thanks
