I bought an older Fisher Marine aluminum boat last week and the guy threw in a pretty nice Minn Kota to replace the older Motor Guide. However, I don't think mounting it will be as easy as I first thought. Check out Photo 1 which shows the existing mount. Photo 2 shows the Minn Kota. The mounting shoe is a good 8 inches longer than the existing Motor Guide though you can't really tell from the picture. Photo 3 shows the up-turn of the boats bow that is the source of the difficulty. Maybe fabricate a longer mounting box? Would love something simpler. Any ideas?

Thanks
