In a previous post a couple of days ago I suggested I might be buying a 1995 Wellcraft Excel 21ft. I've since decided to buy it so I'm moving ahead with the purchase though I did have a question I'm hoping someone can help me with regarding installing a kicker bracket...
My current boat, a 1990 Wellcraft 17ft has a flat transom that you can mount a kicker bracket onto and run a small HP gas trolling motor at the stern for fishing.
The new boat is that newer molded stern type with the swim platform molded right into the design... It's also an inboard not an outboard like my current boat. How do you mount a kicker to a boat like that or can't you?
I like to fish quite a bit and would hate to have a boat I can only waterski behind but can't fish with. The brochure I downloaded for the boat from the Wellcraft site describes it as a sport, fishing & cruising boat so obviously they had figured it was suitable to fish in I just can't figure for the life of me how you put a kicker on those things...
