Not sure if the 10e has a stronger transom but the 2.5 hp i have on my 8ft flexed my transom bad enough i built the outboard support i posted eralier in the thread it did add a little bit of speed to the boat i can run maybe 4 mph wide open loaded down with all my junk

Its not to bad never felt like i was going to go in the water at all when i first built the deck i had the battery in the back and didnt have the gas motor which was awsome but when i got my motor i had to move the battery to the front because if you put me a gas motor and a 31 series deep cyle in the back of an 8ft and it almost sinks while you are trying to start your motor you just have to even everything out then its super stable now

Nibus2065 no the middle of the casting deck is cut out to fit my battery box i can fit my ancor and some small plano boxes under it but thats about it

all loaded up and ready to go to the lake let me know what you guys think of my little setup.

rod storage not pretty but it works.

here is the motor support I came up with just need to get it welded up.

And the pics are to big i will take some more tomorrow and post them

Just finished up building my trailer and all the parts for my outboard support just need to weld the support together now

here is my setup I had to move the battery box to the front because the rub rail was underwater while running the gas motor I usually fish by myself and without anyone in the front its really stern heavy let me know what you guys think.

I have an 8 foot but mine has a deck built on it with a bow mount trolling motor and with no one in the front i,m having to run the battery up front using my little mercury 2.5 because my rub rail is underwater

Pointhunter, do you have a 10 foot or 8 foot boat?

For the guys that run outboards do you have the battery in the front?
