    Vintage Tee Nee

    I have a 59 Tee Nee (with tear drop fenders) and was woundering if the trailers of that time came in a different colour than the safety yellow which seems to be the only colour I have seen. My thoughts are to keep it and the boat period correct.

    Engine mounted Minn Kota

    I want to get a electric trolling motor and was hoping to hear some feed back on the engine mounted model verses the transom mounted model. I realy like the idea of mounting it to the engine which would keep me from having to reach over the back to steer and throttle up or down. But the cost is...
