In the thread about the drift boat article in American Angler, found here http://www.itinerantangler.com/cgi-bin/board/YaBB.pl?num=1289919544
Hey Ron,
I am mostly satisfied. It is convenient for where my seat is located. I usually fish alone in the boat, but when I have another person with me, I still seat myself forward. The only problem I have is that, due to the sweep of the bow, I’ll need to get a longer shaft motor to get more “bite” in the water.
I would worry about having the motor at the center of the boat. It seems to me like it would be harder to navigate, with the engine trying to turn the hull from a broadside position. Straight-forward propulsion would probably be fine, but turning…I have my doubts. Especially in fast current.
Hope this helps,
R
