Not to hijack, but I've thought about a trolling motor for my hybrid on occasion. It'd be nice for sneaking in the marsh, when I don't need the outboard to push me against the tide in the open water.
My question is, can I cut down the shaft? They're all way too tall for my boat, but I've never taken one apart.

How about the "little things' on a duck boat? Gun holders, shell holders, a place for the dog, etc.

Tomkat wrote:I agree, thats part of what I am after. Look at that decoy rack idea. Right now we barely have time to stand up with all of our decoy bags. And my boat is open. So I am looking at ways to get organized AND be more comfortable.
Flightstopper, tell me about what you have seen that does NOT work well on a boat? I am still pretty new to boating and trying to learn.
