Hi Pat,
To quote you, "[#0000ff]I have heard of someone rigging a small platform behind the seat to hold a larger battery but have not seen it...or pictures. My intuition tells me it would be subject to destabilizing the ride."
[/#0000ff]
I saw your post and had to answer. Although I haven't done a test run on it yet, it will be interesting to see if any "destabilization" occurs when it's in the water and going. I can't see how that could possibly happen with a boat that is 6 ft long and has a weight capacity of 500 lbs. I have carefully designed this PVC motor mount. The trouble I had with the Renegade was it was just too big and bulky to manage with ease. I don't like to make more work than is necessary nor do I like fighting with a big bulky inflatable to get it inside of my car.
I'll let you know how it turns out.
