@flinginairos, that is shaping up nicely!
You guys have/make to much $. You wait until you see my redneck ingenuity on a budget. Y'all will either be impressed or roll over laughing.
Worked on fiberglassing transom on my rig today. Hopefully will have ready here soon.
This guy has too much money. We just pretend

Oh trust me I'm cheap as they come and most of my mods are using junk I have laying around. I made a steering system for this new boat using an old carbon arrow, a metal rod, and pieces from a camera mount LOL!
It works perfect too

How do you like that trolling motor? Does it have decent range on a fully charged battery?

And 24# was plenty of thrust? I went out today with just paddles, and this thing is a barge. It's not fast and fighting the wind sucked. It's doable, but I can't wait to get a motor on there.

I had a friend give me a really old endura 50# on trade. It's got multiple speeds but it's not variable as much as click gears. I haven't had a chance to put a battery on it yet. I'm heading to get my battery today. I have another friend that offered to sell me a 2hp Yamaha outboard with less than ten hours on it, but I don't know if I want to spend the money and then have to deal with gas and fumes on a boat that will be used for bow hunting in the fall. I hope to try out the electric today and I'll report back.

Are you guys trailering the NuCanoe?
I'll tell you what, after this weekend, I'm considering it. That damn thing is heavy. And by myself it sucks to take it apart and load on the truck. And if you have a motor attached, You have to take it off to put the wheel kit on. Plus the wheels are all the way in the back meaning you have to pick up all the weight of the boat by the front handle which broke on me in my yard when trying to put it all away at the end.Are you guys trailering the NuCanoe?

I'm going to make a different wheel kit that rides in the center for it asap.
I also learned that if you put a grp 27 battery in the back and a 200# guy in the back, with only a 3 year old in the front, that the scupper plugs become a lot more important. We must of had 6" of water in the back of the boat. By adjusting the seats we were able to minimize it some. I'll be adding a wiring kit to move the battery to the front of the boat soon.
Other than that however, little e had a blast. No fish but he was crying when it was time to get off the water.

I tried going through leoadventures to get the Frontier. They approved my membership and the day i submitted my order a week later they cancelled my membership. Apparently they made a mistake and my job is classified as a non profit. I havent heard anything about my order maybe ill get lucky and itll go through!..... Its a long shot but if not ill have to hold off until i can afford to pay full price :/
