Motor mount and oars advise. I don't see any motor mount for it and many people saying can't find good oars that fits.

I got the motor mount by going to the Sevylor site. It was ~$80.00 and definitely worth it. My motor is 3.5 hp. If you can't find oars on Amazon try Cabella's or Bass Pro Shop online.

The mount is not included, but it's an accessory along with the wooden floor insert. I bought a set of "emergency" oars from Walmart for $15 each. They are rugged, lightweight, and collapsable... great for this boat.

You have to buy the motor mount. That thing is a piece of garbage return it

I have since sold this boat, but the boat does not have oar locks. You would not want to row this boat, but need to propel it by means of a trolling motor or gas engine.

I don't know of any difference. I still have mine and it is well made. The optional motor mount will not handle a heavy electric or an outboard of more than 3 HP. Buy the cheaper one, they're the same.

If you have the SeaHawk boat you will need a motor mount kit to attach a motor. Search for Intex Motor mount. BACKSTORE

I haven't done it, but after looking under the motor, I'll confidently and recklessly say that the motor can be loosened, lifted, and turned around for outboard turning. You'd need some sort of outboard tool rest.

You need the motor mount that attached to the back of the boat. Also, I used a marine battery for my motor. It has to be a marine battery not a normal car battery. Other then that just the trolling motor, motor mount, and battery is all you need.

On my boat I have an 1.5 inch lip..I've had no issues..If you look at the picture Amazon shows of the motor- I'd say the frame is an 2-3 inches. My motor is currently covered- next week when I take it off I'll let you know exact measurement. Btw- I have both the foot controlled and Hand operated motors..the foot pedal needs some pressure to move directions. I would definitely look into a permanent motor mount. If not the pedal will be sliding when using. I use the handheld w/a MinnKota extension. I very rarely use Foot pedal motor..

Hi Cheryl, This is a very well made product! I am not sure what transom you plan on mounting this on, but I have an inflatable Achilles 12ft boat. I load everything including 115lb outboard and sometimes take the boat down some pretty rough paths to get to the water. I need something that won't break while going over branches, mud, etc. Then, when you get to the lake, just raise the wheels. They will lock upright in 2 different positions. Just take your time while determining where to mount them the brackets on your boat, the directions are good. You shouldn't pull your boat with your vehicle; not sure why you would be worried about the hub or tire. They should last for years. Check air once a season; like all tires, they tend to needing slight filling once a year. Very simple to raise and lower; spring loaded slots. And yes, pull the lock pin on each wheel and you can remove them. I am very critical on alot of poor Amercian engineering and spent alot of my life repairing things. I like the best in what I buy and would recommend this highly to you. You won't find any better. Enjoy!

I wouldn't. Oars don't work too well. Floor isn't sturdy for rapids. Nothing to hold onto for rapids. Shallow boat I think it would tip easy. Good boat for floating or fishing that is about it.

I believe it is good up to low 100s hp. You need to go to the next one up for 200HP. Check Sea Stars web site the have information on all outboards and what fits what normally. They are helpful o the phone too. Call and leave a message for tech support and they actually call back. Hope this was helpful. Capt. Jack Boender

I'm not a 100% as to the answer to your question. You may want to contact the manufacture, or search Amazon for a more suitable item for your boat requirements.

There's room to put an electric motor on it but it does not come pre-drilled, nor does it have any mounts already set up for the motor. You'll have to find a motor that has some kind of clamp that will fasten down to the actual boat itself. Hope that helps

I use the same oars for a 12 foot John boat. You might want to go up a size on the oars.

I think the one that comes with this trolling motor is the same one you can buy, so I would think you buy a extra bracket and mount it on another boat and move the trolling motor back and forth.

You should be ok with just the mount itself; However, if the upper mount (silver in the picture ) is touching the metal (below the rubber) on the original, you may have to jack the engine up a bit more than if it were as mine was (only the rubber portion failed and leaked). I would (at least) check the other mounts since it sounds as if yours failed completely. Replace the rest of the mounts if there is "ANY" doubt. I apologize for the delay in answering, I work off shore.

I've found that the boat is extremely difficult to use with a motor. The motor I bought did not stay on the mounting kit very well. I had to modify the kit to keep the motor from slipping off. Also, the battery for the motor is extremely heavy for an inflatable boat and adds to the awkwardness. To operate the motor, the driver, the battery, and the motor are all in the stern. It is not very comfortable to sit there. In hindsight, I would have been better to get a small aluminum or fiberglass boat to attach the motor to.
