Kicker mount for a 1996 Reinell 197RLX

[SWBuechler]

I have a Reinell 197RLX the back of which looks like the attached picture. I want to mount a kicker bracket to the swim step. Any recommendations for products or systems?

That's HILARIOUS because that is EXACTLY what I did before posting. LOL. I just thought someone might have had a good or bad experience with a bracket on a fiberglass swim step.

Personally I would shy away.

Not the end all, be all by any means.... Just my .02
