siiiiiiiiiiiiiick!!
Think u need something to hold your rods down though, looks like they can fall off, and that will be K@K!
What happened to your old "baby bass" boat? That thing was a beauty.

Baby Bass was unfortunately sold, I got an amazing price for it as it was a one of a kind in the end. but the boat was just to small man, im stocked with this boat though.

how long have u used the watersnake?
did you build a live well yet, and are you gonna build a flat base for the 2nd angler at the back of the boat.
reason i am asking is i am planning on doing the same thing with my 16ft bowrider, but... i want it interchangable, quick and easy. from ski to bass and back in 30mins max.

I have had mine for about 2 years now and have never had a issue, these trolling motors are a real good buy. I was real skeptical when I bought it, but I real happy with it, I wanna sell it soon to get the bow mount foot control one though, the reason why I bought the transom mount is because I have an inflatable before I got my big boat.
As for the live well, Im waiting for summerset sports to get air raters in, then Im gonne build in my live well, and for the flat deck at the back, I might buil something there, maybe get like a aluminium table and fibre glass round the frame and then carpet it.
Good luck

Nice Ian,
She looks in good nick and I hope she brings you many, many hours of good fishing.

Hi guys some input from my side.For somebody with a limited budget the JW was within price range.At R3600-00 with some really nice specs i could afford it.The cable for the foot control is long enough to reach the back of my boat.When you hit the power switch with your foot it doesn't start immediately but gives you a sec or two to get your direction right before the motor starts running.
Last weekend i used mine for 3 days in a row with long stretches of continuous use along the banks and the battery was still ok.I will share my experience with the JW with you as it gets older for potential buyers to make a decision.I am in no way a JW rep.The market for the midrange trolling motors in SA is very limited and i hope this info comes in handy.
I would like to share ideas etc. with all us bow rider/bass boat owners in converting our boats for multi purpose use.I love bass fishing but....the family also wants to share in enjoying the boat thus all the "conversions"

Thanks man, I think my next boat will be a fully rigged splash bass or if I have the bucks, a rebel 532. But Im gonna let this oak give me a good couple of fish and trips before I get a more exspensive boat. I just bought a colt bakkie to tow this boat because my Bantam struggled LOL
