[QUOTE="soggybottom, post: 278886, member: 9451"] Right now it has no speed control. Eventually I will worry about things like speed control and reverse, but for now I just want to see if I can get the performance I want. I took it out with the electric motor this evening. Overall I was pretty unimpressed with the performance. It seems about as fast as a trolling motor would be. Maybe a little slower. I was hoping for a little more speed. I will probably try it with a larger motor and higher RPMS. This motor is rated at 1500 RPM. I will try to get a 1 horse 1800 RPM motor from work and give it another go. Back to the drawing board I guess. [/QUOTE]
