[QUOTE="EddiePA, post: 360144, member: 14526"] Put me in the same boat as the others with never having too much power (I have a '73 Vega Wagon with a 565 cubic inch big block chevy in it for Pete's sake) :mrgreen: It's about the added weight and space the batteries take up. There is a finite amount of space in a 12 foot boat over and above the added weight. I had two 55lb thrust Minn Kotas on my Smoker Craft when I went to an electric only lake. Figured the added power couldn't hurt. The second 55lb thrust trolling motor was worth less than 1mph. Closer to .5mph actually. IMHO, the added weight and less floor space due to the required batteries isn't worth the trade off, especially in a 12 foot boat. [/QUOTE]
