[QUOTE="Jim-Iowa, post: 140361, member: 3209"] There are a lot of varibles pertaining to speed using a trolling motor. Far too many to give a definitive answer as to whethere you could make 10 mph. Size of the motor, battery or batteries total weight your pushing etc. The search function will get you into the archives and you can read to your hearts content and learn a ton. There are at least 4 nice aprox 100 acre state and county lakes within an hours drive of my house that are restricted to Electric Power only. And I am looking for a jon the size of yours to set up for electric power only. I'm looking at a 55 pound thrust Minkota with 1 12v battery and expecting closer to 3-5 mph. Since the motor would be run intermittantly(just moving from spot to spot) I think I could fish all day without running out of power. Since your on a Tight Budget(as am I) I would reccomend you look at Froggy's build. He did a conversion that minumized added weight(important if your going electric on a budget) and made a very nice boat. https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=12778 Also look at the Electric Bass tournement thread for ideas too.
