I am looking at purchasing a trolling motor for my boat. It's a light aluminum boat weighing in at 600 pounds.
I'm wondering how much thrust I should be looking for. I want enough thrust that I'll be able to keep my boat steady in windy conditions. I'm not looking to spend over $1,000 dollars.... I need a foot-pedal as well since this will be a pedestal setup. Should I be looking to buy new, used, or refurbished? What types of Minn-Kotas are the best? Thanks....
A good trolling motor is one of the BEST investments you'll make on your boat. Get a good/powerful one!
Good rule to follow is "I'm too poor to buy cheap!". I use that often and it's paid off. |
