Trolling motor on Islandia?

[jeanette]

Hi everyone it's finally turning fall. The boat is out of the slip at the marina and is being serviced and winterized. We are pulling the lift, bringing the boat and lift home until the early spring. My question is has anyone ever put a large trolling motor on an Islandia? Where and how large. My daughter and I want to use it to get the boat out of shallow cove where we have a dock? Figure we could come out quieter and with more grace. Also seems like it would make it easier to fish. I like my boat and don't want to swap it.Thanks

I've been thinking about that myself. I long shaft motor could be mounted up front. But it won't be easy to get the cables up there... and it will gobble up a bunch of the front platform. Because of that... I haven't done it. BUT... if you do... please post up pictures.
