| Hello everyone,
I have yet to save up enough $$ for a fishing boat so I bought a canoe to tied me over until then. My question is what kind of motor should I get? What pound thrust should I look for. I bought a 14' 7" Old Town canoe. I was thinking of a 50 lb. thrust would work good. Any thoughts or suggestions??? Thanks

Location: Ogden, Ut | We had a Coleman Scanoe at work that we pushed just fine w/ a 36 lb thrust MinnKota. Granted, we weren't breaking any speed records and it's use was limited to places we couldn't get a boat. I don't know how much more a canoe like yours would weigh, but I think 50 lbs. of thrust should be more than enough.

Location: Holly, MI | You will be flying with 50 lbs of thrust on a small canoe. Maybe but the trolling motor you will want for your next boat anyway so you don't have to buy two. |
