Getting ready to buy a new tracker 1542 riveted jon. Want to start off with a casting platform up front and mounting a trolling motor. Looks likes the best for the framing in aluminum. How do I attache the frame to the boat?
I bought a jon last year with a 8.0 Merc with a bent skeg. I am in the middle of replacing the transom so figured I would inquire how to fix this while the motor is off.

I bought a 12' jon yesterday with a mercury 8hp. Took it out fishing today with a buddy. Really seems to run well. Starts on the first pull. But it doesnt put out much of a rooster tail at all. Never get to the point where is makes this (see pic below). It was windy here today and the lake was...
