Re: Jon boat with trolling motor in Florida Keys
WOW, good thing I caught you! Under no circumstances should you show up without a real motor. Using an elect. motor down there would be like CRAZY HORSE riding side saddle, a real girly man. Women would laugh and children would kick sand in your face. You will have to be MACHO and burn some gasoline. You have the rest of winter and all of spring to come up with a motor or dont come down.
A real motor would eliminate range and speed restrictions. No more overnight battery charging. Daylight is very long. Do you want to be stuck with a dead battery when you have to make a beer run in the evening? Never mind you could take the car, beer runs are much more enjoyable in a boat, your on vacation. Dont blow your vacation by not having a motor. Anything will work. How about one of those air cooled 2 1/2 hp. if they are still made or a briggs/ straton? A good INVESTMENT would be one of those small 2 hp. 4 strokes. You can flush it in a pail, you would have it for the rest of your life and pass it on in your old age. You owe it to yourself to have a real motor, right? Borrow from a relative, bounce a check, hold up a convenience store, what ever it takes it is justified. If you need anymore justification, let me know.
Now it is your turn to help me justify buying a new truck. regards FRED
