Cimarron mods? TM mount?
#4
[cool][#0000ff]I'll mostly echo the input you have already gotten. That toon is designed mostly for "light" action with fins and oars. It is not long enough to easily support the addition of the extra weight of a heavy battery and motor. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Yes, you can do it, but you might need to add some extra floatation to the rear with boat bumpers, such I have done on my float tube. (see pic) The trick will be attaching them securely without creating extra drag or potential snagging while launching or beaching.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Otherwise, you will find that you have to relocate the seat much further forward and may not be able to use the oars efficiently.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I am sure you could rig a suitable PVC platform with 1" schedule 40 PVC. The heavy guage aluminum would be better but as a trial run you could "go white". You might even make a PVC frame and then put a plywood "roof" on it...or use the bottom of a Rubbermaid plastic container.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Good luck and let us know how your experimenting goes.[/#0000ff]
