[quote flygoddess]With that flat frame, have you thought about a full deck? Made out of Diamond plate aluminum for light weight. Lotsa room too.
The only down side is you can't break the boat down as easily, but I am assuming you have something rigid for the battery and motor.[/quote]
Yeah I thought about it 'cause I like the way your cardiac canyon is set up![cool]
The problem is the seat is mounted in a flat bar sling below the top of the frame. You can sort of see it in the picture below:

The factory motor mount is the theing you see sticking out mounted to the left side of the frame.

The battery rests in back of the seat in the cargo net (It's really heavy duty) and strapped to the frame. (see blurry pic below)

This set up (side mount) does not work very well pulling backwards. It wants to spin you in a circle. My dad had a 'toon just like this back in the '90's and told me it is designed to push you forward just to get from point A to Point B. Maybe I will try it that way. I may build a small platform in back so I can try a rear mount.
