Finally ironed out the probs that you get with an inflatable. Made a new mount for the motor and mounted the transducer on the motor.............works a treat and got me on the fish today......see here: http://www.ausfish.com.au/vforum/showthread.php?184249-North-Pine-today.&p=1379364#post1379364

Yep looks fantastic...don't forget to lower the motor before turning it on, or you may have a mix of leccy and compressed air propulsion (I know it is an obvious line...but someone had to say it so it might as well be me ::) )

Seriously , looks great and glad it got you on the fish!

Yeah mate, that's the only problem with the motor mounted transducer.......... that you have to lift the motor higher when launching/coming ashore. I make a point of always paddling well out before I lower the motor.

Hey mate looks nice and stable.
But why choose an inflatable? Do you actually pump it up while your on site? Or just personal preference?

Got a knackered back mate so can't lift a rigid onto a roof rack. She weighs only 18kilos and from getting her out of the car to fully inflated and fitted out is less than 15 minutes. Nice and stable (I can even stand up in it) for lifting cray pots, heaps of room for 1 in a two manner at only 50 bucks dearer than a one manner at less than $400
