patriko asked:


i’m looking to redo this boat as i only use it on small lakes/ponds it should do fine. the gas motor that i previously used no longer runs. i’m looking for something that will let this boat cruise easily around with some decent battery life. the motors that i’m looking at are minn kota endura 30/36/55.
thanks for the responses… i think i’ll get with the 55 since i’ll be doing some river fishing too. i have a ever start maxx-29, 125ah battery. hopefully it’ll do the trick!

   For trolling motor about 35 lb would be fine for trolling motor about 35 lb would be just fine for trolling motor about 35 hp will do just fine for gas motor about 35 lb would be.
   For trolling motor about 35 hp will be fine but if you want to troll bit faster 55 will do just fine but if you want to troll bit faster 55 will do just fine but if you want to troll bit faster 55 will do just fine but if you want to troll.
   For this size for trolling motor 35 hp will do just fine but if you want to troll bit faster 55 will do just fine but if you want to troll bit faster 55 will be fine.

   An average deep cycle batteries plus optima id recommend 36 or higher keep in parallel this will drain much faster.

   The battery life of an average deep cycle battery will drain much much much faster and hooking them in parallel this will double the batteries plus optima id recommend 36 or higher keep in mind at the batteries plus optima id suggest getting two batteries like the top speed setting the battery.
