Sooo I have done a little work to my old/new boat

New seats

fresh paint on the inside

carpeting

new plug setup (no leaks)

new motorguide T34 trolling motor (can't wait to try her out!)

So whats do you guys think??

Outstanding. Very clean. That should give you many more years of fun.

But you might concider some wheels for the trailer. lol

Thanks guys!

lol yeah I had some dry rotted tires so I had to go to tractor supply today and pick up some new ones but all went well

I have nearly the same setup - is that a '72 Starcraft?  

How does the trolling motor work for you with the side mount?  I was thinking of doing the same thing, but not sure if I will loose alot of power.

Thanks,

You should rotate the head on the trolling motor so the tiller is pointed at you.

BIll

Very clean and simple! I like it!

Great job.

Thanks guys! ;D

No I dont think its a 72 starcraft, my title sais its an 83' Sears V.

Yeah I need to figure out how to rotate the head but my manual doesnt tell me how so I'm wondering if its possible for my type of TM??

Rotating the head will be simple, one long bolt through the collar of the head that goes through the shaft. Remove it twist head 180 degrees reinstall. As for the side mount, be very careful, I have tried that in the past and could not get the motor to stay on the gunnel. I finally just built a small L shaped bracket to mount on the front for the TM. Nice looking rig, good luck with her.

Thanks for the info! I might be taking her out this weekend to try out the side mount and see if it works ok, if not i guess I will have to jimmy rig something to keep it mounted properly.

A 7 or 9 inch pedestal will make that much more comfy on the sides of your legs.  The 7 and 9 are still low so it will not be tippy

They make bow mount brackets for the transom tm's
