I recently purchased a 1988 Stratos 201 Pro. The previous owner installed a recessed tray for the foot controlled trolling motor. The problem is, it's only 5 inches from the seat post. I have a setback pole, but I'm a bigger guy and don't feel completely comfortable using it, I'd rather use the straight pole. The problem is the pedal is too close and I can't really use the control. I pulled the tray out and the deck is about 1" thick. I'm thinking of cutting about 4" from the fron of the tray and reattaching it to the rear and sliding the tray forward. I'm guessing I'll have to support it with some bracing from below.
