Thanks for posting the photos of your rigs. I got the Assault XX in September and so far I’ve been out on it at least once a week. Each trip I come up with better ideas for rigging it for my needs, but it’s great to see some of the ingenious ideas you folks come up with.
My motor mount arrived today, so I’ll be checking it out on my boat in the next few days, which with our change in weather will likely just be a “dry run” in my garage. Flygoddess, can I copy your set up?
So you mount the motor behind the main seat but you have it pull instead of push because that is more efficient for a ‘toon?
And you lock the motor in place and steer with your fins?
These sound like great solutions to the problems I encountered with the motor pushing from the rear because when I finned or rowed it was in the opposite direction. A few weeks ago I switched from finning to the motor and as the boat reversed it caught my fly line – D’oh!
TubeDude -- I just saw you book on tubing so instead of constantly "mooching" ideas I'll just buy your book.
