Good morning/afternoon!
I just bought a 1990 Sea Nymph FM 161 and am looking for some recommendations or sugguestions on what to get/what to avoid for a bow mounted trolling motor. The boat weighs about 600ish pounds and I am looking to get a bow mount trolling motor with foot pedal. What lb thrust range should I get? I've been looking around on Craigslist for some used older models but honestly I have never used one before. I am a fairly big guy and will always have someone else out with me so I'm thinking I'll need a little extra power as well. I'm mainly going to be using the boat in NJ on electric only lakes.
Thanks in advance for your time and input!
(here is a link to some pictures of the boat...I just realized I put this in the wrong section and feel like an idiot... )
