I just purchased a '97 201 Pro Elite. I want (need) to install a basin for a foot controlled trolling motor. A reputable glass shop said there is probably a brace under there that he would have to cut and he doesn't like that. And he said, I need to find one that when installed allows that pedal to fit flush to the floor, otherwise you may as well still stand on one foot.

My questions are: Does anyone know about any bracing that would impede installing that basin? Is there a basin I can get from the factory or elsewhere? Any other ideas/thoughts?

Oops - the TM is a Minnie Kota 101 - (big pedal, I might add)
