Carl as I recall from prior posts that you you customized that pram versus a standard Metalhead.
What modifications did you make?

[Carl Blackledge]

Steve,

I have owned and actually build several Mental heads. I played with every aspect of the design. Some of the biggest aspects were the diamond plate transom, rear motor mounts, custom seat,lightweight bottom and sides, however I ended up with the 100. bottom and 60. sides with 100. transom. I could stand on the seat and cast all day long and still piss out of the back without the pram leaning over dangerously. Very stable and comfortable. The guy that bought it would have paid me anything I asked, very happy a guy liked that bought it :).....If the Salmon up north ever come back I will build another in a heartbeat, however they are gone for good unfortunately.

Cool. Thanks for sharing the details.


Any modifications to the shape of the hull?

I narrowed the front up just a little, It didn't seem to make much of a difference.
