Shane, I've been looking at the tracks some more and I do think I'll end up going that direction... I think I'll need a 4', 3', two 18" and maybe 2 at 12" in my wish list set up... I'll start with the two long ones for the back of the boat. They will be the most important to the boat set up...
Justin, thanks for the info and it's crazy how expensive new motors are these days... Hopefully this motor will be strong and run well for me... I've been working on the fuel line lately and I probably need to ask a question to everyone, has anyone put a "T" fitting on the fuel line out of the boat tank to the motor? I want to split the fuel line to my main and kicker motor, they both use unmixed fuel, so I can just use fuel from the same tank, but I'm not sure if it will limit the fuel flow too much. I don't worry about the kicker motor, but I am a little concerned about starving the fuel to main motor at full speed... Do I need to upsize the fuel line to 3/8" diameter instead of 5/16"? On snowmobiles in the hillclimbs we used to have to put additional pumps and bigger supply lines so we didn't starve the engines for fuel, but they relied on the fuel for lubrication as well, so maybe it won't be as important on an outboard... Just curious if anyone has had issues doing this? Thanks J

When things get stressful think I'll go fish'en and worry about it tomorrow!
