"...lots of planning and budgeting is the first step." no kidding :) I already have the hydraulic steering and have already moved the batteries underneath the seat in front of the console. I have the following bait tank I made that holds around 40 gallons which equates to 320lbs, so I"m concerned about how heavy a motor to put on. I'm thinking of putting some kind of weight in the bow compartment. I'm thinking I need to secure this weight some how and can't just drop in a couple bags of rocks. I mentioned in another thread about gettting a '06 150 Optimax but I'm shying away from it due to what Spares said about what it costs to repair it. Also, it weighs in at around 485lb compared to 420 that the DF140. Regarding a floatation bracket, I'm sure I can enclose the bracket when I make it but wonder how much it really helps.
