Re: Canoe-Trolling Motor
i have a 15 foot coleman canoe, and got a canoe mount from bass pro, and i got a 40 lb minn kota as well, it goes pretty fast under heavy load and is nice to have the extra speed and got a everstart marine with 75 amp hours and 100 reserve minutes for $40.00 at wal-mart. the battery lasts a good 7-8 hours on one charge on flat water and isn't as heavy as a big marine battery. that's using various speeds the entire time and some reverse with 2 people and gear for bass fishing. It works out nice. but be VERY aware if passenger gets out of the front.... it gives too much weight in the back and if you gun it it's possible to drop the rear down under water, which i almost did. You don't really need tat much thrust though depends what you're doing with it
