ya ,you made it sound easy enough,..I got it,simple enough,just gona make the motor cables longer so batt,can go in the very back.the boat levels out better, also with another extension handle I adapted to the original. and I sit further back,fast boat.I like to hear the water slam onto the bow on a fullspeedstart,and watch the backwash kick up at the back of the boat.it"s wierd seeing backwash with no motor out the stern,it can be can be very mesmorizing.
