Looks great. I'm curious about one thing though. Was that the only was to mount the front trolling motor? It appears that the head of it hangs out past the rub rail line by about a foot. I intentionally measured and mocked up my mounting location before making it permanent so I wouldn't have to worry about my trolling motor head hanging over the edge of the boat. Not long before I mounted mine, I saw a guy pull up to dock and he almost tore the TM off when the head hung up on one of the dock pilings. I made a mental note right then to keep everything inboard of the rub rail if possible.

Yes, you are correct; however, my head is 72" and when I mounted it, it was almost impossible to not have overhang....that being said, it's one of those things you become very aware of when coming to the dock....
