Hi I was wondering if someone could help me out here. I recently bought a 93 Spectrum 1700 fish and ski with a 75hp mercury on the back. I got it running and on the water but I want a bow mount trolling motor for it. What I wanted to know because NADA guidelines don't show a 1700 that can take a 120hp motor... They do say the 1700 weighs "1054"... but no units of measure so is that lbs or kg and also still not sure that number is for my exact boat? I'm just trying to figure out how much thrust in lbs Ill need for my trolling motor as these seem like heavier boats. It had a 36lb Motorguide bow mount when I bought it that the original owner said didn't really move the boat so I sold it. A guy is offering me an older 45lb thrust 24v model still not sure that's enough... If I knew what my boat weighed it would help my decision. Otherwise whats everybody else running for thrust on these??? I'm almost always on a calm lake... I like the idea of 24v for longer periods between charges, I camp a lot in the middle of nowhere usually...
Any input is much appreciated thanks!
