Hi guys Enrico of IBBFTEAM here.Hope you're ok.Here bass time is so sad due cold weather.How is going in your lovely California? I received after two months from my order a new ODC sport kickboat by Creek Company.It's so lovely and i want test asap.I want install a little trolly engine at the back of the sit.What do you think?I saw a tiny Minn Kota Endura 30 , shaft 6''.Is it ok?I know that Motor Guide can be also better but in Italy we have assistance only for Minn Kota....so it's one way!Another problem is about rod holder.I spoke many times with Andy.He is so kind. He has a classical tube pipe by Fentress, but i suppose that it isn't so confortable when i must make "strike" very quick...and when i want trow out my baits using spinning rods.And...if i put this rod holder by one side...i can have problem with oars....Please give me a solution!According to me a good solution is the rod holder shown on Bass Pro shop catalog(Spring 2003 Master Catalog) page 262 letter X codex 12-410-100-00.The model is equipped with a single clamp mount which allows mounting and remounting in a variety of position..... Let me know your considerations...and another time.....Merry Christmas and happy BASS year........ Enrico-IBBFTEAM-Italy
