Good luck to ya'.

Being the poor high school student I am, the best form of a boat I could afford was a 1998 Sundolphin Sportsman. It's 9' 6" and i'm not sure what width but from the times i've fished from it, it has been pretty stable. I bought it at the beggining of the summer and I have used it alot, but I've ran into a few problems. I've found that it's really hard to fish and run the hand controlled trolling motor at the same time, and with this small of a boat it doesn't take much wind for it to really blow you around. I decided that I would like to see if I could put a foot-control trolling motor on it. I'd like some input from you guys on how well this would work, or if it would work at all. I plan on upgrading into a 14' or 16' Jon Boat in a couple years once I get into college, and then after college, upgrading to a bigger bass boat such as a skeeter, ranger or triton. If I do get a foot-controll motor for it, I would like it to be one that I could also use when I upgrade to the Jon Boat. Thanks.
