Why not post updates on how modifying the boat goes as you get it done?? I think that would be of interest to everyone.

I have a "casting apron" on my pram as well but I do not use it for casting [unless the wind blows the line back]. I bunjed [sp?] a piece of decrative netting [bought it at hobby lobby] over the electric motor head, battery, and wires, etc. This keeps my line out of the mess. As the pram is "plastic" the floor area, seats, and etc. are very smooth and no problem.
