Hi guys,

New here. I live in Illinois. Picking up a boat Saturday that I plan on modifying. I've been reading a lot about building casting decks and mounting a trolling motor. It seems pretty straight forward. However, I see you need a level area to mount the bow mount trolling motor. The boat I'm buying is a V-Hull, and if you see the front it has a slight angle. I am kind of puzzled on how I would level that out to make it suitable for a bow mount trolling motor. Any ideas? I have attached a few pics so you can see what I mean.

Make a small mounting platform that is level.

How? Out of what? I've looked but can't find anything similar that has been done by others 

Use some wood blocking to level it out and some plywood over the top and mount it over that

Would it be okay to shim the back end up with rubber washers?

Basically, build a wedge to shim up the back

Long bolts and 1/2'' PVC Pipe cut to length for shims at the back

A table saw is your friend

Use a canoe trolling motor mount like LL Bean for your bow mount.
