Good Time!
We put it in the water today. Couldn't figure out how to mount the motor mount so we just went for a ride under paddle power. It paddled very well. I then moved closer to the center, sat on the hard ethafoam seat, lower in the canoe, and rowed the "vessel" My very (un)healthy stomach got in the way of operating the oar-locked paddles, but the seat back felt wonderful on my lumbar regions. For a slimmer boater it would probably be fine. Very pleased with the whole business. Went back to Parrot's Outpost in Onaway and asked for the simple solution to the motor mount problem. Yup. It was a simple process. Maybe tomorrow we'll go for a ride with the Minn-Kota instead of with People Power.
Wife and I are both glad we got it. BLuegills may be in trouble.
Again, thanks much for your responses.

Bill
