I have a bunch of new summer photos of my 190 outrage with the trolling motor and custom bracket i built. I already posted them on photobucket, but not sure how to get them linked to this page. Anyone let me know.. Also, i will post the trolling motor, bracket and custom battery box on the electrical or repair/mods section soon.

Scott...on photobucket highlight and copy (keys ctrl + c) the "Url Code" below the picture and paste(keys Ctrl + v) it in your reply here. then type this [url] in front of it and this [/url] behind it, no spaces.
repeat for each picture that you want to add.
Submit your reply. done right the link on CW will be as I would say...clickable.
Note that the and don`t show up on the post.I initally tried to post links by looking at other`s and couldn`t make it work as I wasn`t adding the and .

hmm, I guess I made the word "and" clickable by having the url stuff before and after it in that last sentence.
Anyway...the above procedure works for me.

Scott:
Hope you get the picture posting figured out, as I am very interested in seeing how you installed the trolling motor. I assume you are talking about an electric bow-mount, rather than a low horsepower "kicker."

Here are the photos. Hopefully this works!

Nice job. What components did you use to do that installation?

Where were the pics taken?

I built the bracket myself after the 15 foot whaler bracket under the reference section. I will put up a nice article soon on repairs/mods.

Location of one picture is on the st. Johns river in Sanford Florida in march. The other two were at Ponce Inlet near New Symrna, Florida last weekend. A little overcast but warm air and water (87deg. of air, 83 deg. of sea.

Nice job Scott. Who made the T-TOP?

Very nice...

The 190 with the top looks awesome

The t-top was added by the dealer and built by LTM fabrication at a price in the upper $4000 range. It has the net for vests and such and is double bow like the factory whaler tops. When i first saw the top i wasn't sure about buying a t-top (sure it's nice for the shade and extra storage for gear and rods) i had a bimini in mind for the last five years i had been waiting for a nantucket. But after close examination of the fit, qualityand look of the top and welds (i'm a certified welder) the dealer told me i could have the outrage with t-top for a thousand dollars more than the exact model next to it without. I slept on it and decided in the morning that it was the one i wanted. The biggest factor in the decision was to cover the boat. I wanted a full cover. Currently it has a full tarp but soon i will have a fitted cover. All in all i'm VERY happy with my whaler!

I also built a custome electronics box that is hard to see in the photos, i will take some pictures of that as well

Please do. I think I am staying with the bimini because we mostly dive and ride around and some fishing of course. But, I am curious, how does the Nantucket handle with the T top in the wind. I notice ours responds to the bimini by aggravating porposing tendencies. Just curious if the T top tries to sail the boat.

Diving was the determining factor for the 190 outrage. I had looked at the montauk but i felt the outrage was better for diving than the montauk. The t-top is nice for diving and fishing, no frame poles to get in the way and the t-top is rigid and has lots of handles to hang on as you move about. The t-top isn't as big as the bimini. I do notice some pull at 70-75 miles per hour but not bad. While fishing using the trolling motor, i can feel the wind pushing the hull and top, again not a real problem.
